Carol Trawick, founder of The Trawick Prize, has established The Trawick Prize “best of the best” Sapphire Award to mark the contemporary art competition’s 10th anniversary and honor the Best in Show winners from the past 10 years. In conjunction with the Bethesda Arts & Entertainment District and the Bethesda Urban Partnership, Trawick will hold a special “best of the best” competition and exhibition, featuring artwork by winners from 2003 – 2012.

A jury comprising the 30 jurors from the past 10 years will determine one “Best of the Best” Sapphire Award winner, who will also receive $10,000. In addition, the public will be able to view the artwork online and vote for a “People’s Choice” award winner, who will receive $1,000.
