Snail Mail Show awards
Included are Artist's name/medium/"Title"/(Residence), and on the next line is the juror's name and comments.
While most juried art shows have a Juror's Award, first place, second place, and third place, with honourable mentions and a People's Choice Award, The Snail Mail Show has a Juror's Award, Media Award, People's Choice Award, Honourable Mentions, and multiple theme- and medium-specific awards. These special awards are meant to be equal to, and not greater or lesser than in status to an honourable mention.

2005: Jessica Taylor's coloured pencil "Cat love" (Brampton, Ontario, Canada) Tina Depko, Arts editor, Brampton Guardian — "There is a warm, domestic feel in this piece. This young artist takes great care to include detail— from the stripes on the orange kittens to the multi–colour patches on the mother cat. Does a work have to look like a Monet, Michaelangelo or Carr to make us like it? I think the best art evokes a feeling and this piece definitely does." |
