The five artists were selected from this year's submissions.

“This year, we had the good fortune of working with Daphne Anderson Deeds who brings the utmost professionalism and a wealth of knowledge, and Ben Potter, a professor of art at Unity College in Maine, and a highly regarded contemporary artist in our state. For the third year in a row, we are very grateful to have Sam Mitchell on the jury as well—he has been collecting Maine art for many years and brings keen sensibility to the process," said Brenda Bonneville, editor of maineartscene.com. “As in previous years, our annual showcase highlights the enormous amount of artistic talent that can be found throughout the state of Maine.”

"The quality of the submissions to Maine Art Scene's competition was remarkably strong. There are a lot of great artists in Maine," said Daphne. "It was also great fun to review the work with this jury. We were able to reach consensus even though we all had strong opinions."

"Working with Daphne, Ben and Sam as fellow jurors proved to be very rewarding," said Thierry Bonneville media director of Maine Art Scene. "They each brought an invaluable perspective to the table."

Maine Art Scene, LLC. (maineartscene.com), is Maine's online arts and culture magazine devoted to promoting Maine artists and arts organizations in new and enterprising ways.

Maine Art Scene would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the many wonderful artists who submitted their work for consideration.
