Note: Previous categories “Hand Painted Vehicles,” “Digitally Printed Signs,” and “Hand Painted Signs” were not judged categorically because of lack of sufficient entries in those categories. Entrants in those categories were placed in one of the other categories most appropriate to their design so that every entry was afforded the opportunity to be individually judged.
