Juror Statements:

 

"What a pleasure to get to examine so many wonderful cups. It was exciting to see such a wonderful range of material, form, and surfaces. I was particularly drawn to the amount of character and playfulness in many of these submissions. Many left such a lingering image in mind after viewing them that proved their quality and skill to be unforgettable. I think the toughest choice in this show will be which cup to take home!"

— Christina Erives

 

"It was a great pleasure to participate in the jurying process. All of the outstanding artists that submitted cups should be commended. Along with the demonstration of technical skill, I looked for artistic expression that embodies both aesthetic quality and originality. Each of the cups we reviewed had exceptional desirable characteristics and choosing a winner was challenging indeed. "

— Masa Sasaki
