Every year, Gualala Arts asks three judges, not to limit the entries, but to select which art pieces should win awards in each category, plus a grand prize winner and their own special favorites. Along with the Judges Awards and critiques, which are given on Friday, August 15 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., will be the Most Popular Award which is voted on by the public. Special awards will also be given by Ocean Sanctuary League, Redwood Coast Land Conservancy and Friends of the Gualala River.
