With the exhibit installed, the next step on the calendar was to have the jurors visit and judge the prize awards in person. Lyle Rexer came at a different time to the other two jurors (Chris Mahoney and Jerry Spagnoli), but all reached agreement after some lengthy discussion about the works and the genre. Wine generously donated by Daniel Kuczynski to the show was provided to the jurors with a platter of fresh fruit and cheeses to facilitate discussion.
