This year’s judges – the Tesselaar family had a very difficult task in undertaking their judging responsibilities prior to the opening of the Tulip Festival.  After considerable deliberation, the $10,000 acquisitive prize was awarded to Andrew Kasper for his Corten steel work, ‘Tranquillity’. The viewing public are sure to be as amazed and impressed as I was at the flights of invention and highly-skilled sculptures each artist has made visible in their works.  All exhibiting finalists are to be congratulated.
