Major prizes were announced at the exhibition’s opening reception on September 16, 2011 at the Messler Gallery in Rockport, Maine. The one exception was the Peoples’ Choice Award, which was given to Phil Leonard’s chair on April 15, 2011 through a public voting process on Facebook in which approximately 1600 individuals participated.
