Juror Neal Rantoul selected five students to receive certificates from this year's sponsors, Mac-on-Campus and X-rite. The PRC staff selected the winner for the Image Award, whose photograph is used on all marketing materials and promotion for the exhibition. Congratuations to all of this year's award recipients!
