The jurors, Lucio Orsoni, Honorary President, Angelo Orsoni and Pino Bisazza, President, Trend Group chose Frank Zappa because of the artist's exceptional success in “giving an extraordinary mosaic atmosphere through the choice of a subject which is certainly not ‘mosaic’”.

Finalist was named Erika V Haaland for evoking “with the use of the smalti colours and the luminosity of gold mosaic the feeling of autumn” in Gold Leave. Erica V Haaland will receive 3 kilos of Orsoni 24 k gold mosaic.

In addition 3 Honorable Mentions were awarded Cynthia L Fisher, Michael Welch, Rebecca R Quattrone. Each of these artists will receive 1 kilo of Orsoni 24k gold mosaic.
