Brookhaven National Laboratory will give an award for the works they deem best represent the theme of "Discovery". The winner of that award is then invited to exhibit  that work at the BNL Art Show at Berkner Hall, at the Lab,  November 19, 20 & 21

Women Sharing Art, a non profit corporation providing avenues for women artists to nurture and encourage one another to further their artistic accomplishments, will provide two Special Awards in the amount of $250. each, to two deserving young women.
