Arts Clayton strives every year to assemble a group of judges with backgrounds and styles as varied as the artists and artwork Arts Clayton displays, and this year is no exception.

The Arts Clayton Gallery will purchase the Best of Show Winner, for its Permanent Collection. In addition, the winning artist will be offered the opportunity for a solo feature show in the gallery in September 2010. Winners of First, Second and Third places received cash prizes.
