All Island Art Show – Artist Awards

The show is not juried, but a panel of judges appraises the art entered in the show and selects works for special recognition. The judges only review the works entered by the artist and hung around the Tabernacle. Works, as part of a portfolio displayed on the grounds, are not eligible for awards. All awards are selected based on the opinions and consensus of the judges.   Decisions of the judges are final and may not be appealed.

Awards are presented between approximately 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Works removed from the show before 3:00- p.m. may not be eligible for an award.  Cash prizes and ribbons will be distributed to the artists or may be picked up at the registration table after 2:30 p.m.

The awards list will be updated as awards are added or removed.
