Special Award

The Special Award is not awarded every year and goes to a scheme that has a certain something extra that the judges feel should be recognised.

The winner of the award, is a beautiful sculptural landscape piece, whose deceptive simplicity and clever use of materials combines richness and sturdiness with calmness and sleek tranquility. In the judges comments it was described as 'perfect'.
