WINNERS PAGE

Whew!  What a rollercoaster ride of a festival!  This year, there were 43 entries from as close to home as Chapel Hill and Asheboro, North Carolina to as far flung as Sicily, Israel, and Serbia.  Our jurors (Dr. William Rothman, Charity Ellis, and Robbie Roberts) worked hard, watched diligently, and in the end came out with some excellent selections for they thought were the best of the best!  Their choices are listed below, but we would like to thank all the artists in this year's festival for their dedication, hard work, and most importantly, their creative vision.  We hope to see more work from you all in the near future, so get crackin'!!
