About this Award: This award is also called the "passion award". Each juror selects one piece after all other awards have been decided. The Judge's Choice Awards are designed to bring recognition to a work that each juror, independently, feels is outstanding. These pieces may have been overlooked due to the limited number of awards or because they fell outside other award categories.
Juror's Comments:
Rex Arrowsmith: Stone carving reminiscent of petroglyphs from prehistoric times. Horned toads with other traditional images.
