Three prizes are awarded as part of the exhibition. The John Goss Prize is awarded to the best overall work, which this year was judged to be Paul Curtis's "Midday Light, Marrakech". The Mayor's Award for the best surrealist, abstract or non-representational picture was won by "Triumph Of Hope VIII" by Julia Walling. The Bill Dale Award was received by Sharon Wright for "Walking The Dog".
