Three merit awards of $100 each were given to Shawn Washburn for his mixed media work "Current Urban Migration," to Forrest Hensley for his oil painting "Jenn," and to Jennifer Freno for her wood & mixed media sculptural series, "Dysphoria," which contained three thematically-related sculptures titled, "Abnegation," "Liberation," and "Sudden Impact."
