It was judged by Condessa Croninger, Art Director/Principal, 20 North Gallery, Toledo Ohio, and Bill Hosterman, Professor of Drawing and Printmaking, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, Michigan.
The exhibition was underwritten by the Elkhart County Conventions & Visitors Bureau with additional support provided by Jim and Janet Rieckhoff, and Drs. Wes Mark and Mary Harder. Awards presented to artists this year totaled over $20,000 making the Elkhart Juried Regional the largest cash awards show in Michiana.
