Opacity & Translucency:

Kessler & William Matthews, Amanda Degener & Wilber Schilling, Tad DuBois, Karla Payne Elling & Alberto Rios, Jules Remedios Faye & Christopher Stern & Jeff Hafford, Gordon Fluke, Janice Frey & Jana Pullman, Peter Kruty & Robin Ami Silverberg, Tom Leech, Yehuda Miklaf & Natan Kaaren & Catharina Sonn-Kaaren, Luke Ives Pontifell, John Risseeuw, Peter & Donna Thomas, Paul Wong & Ann Noonan & Joe Elliot.

Juried by Cathleen A. Baker (Dard Hunter biographer), Margaret Ahrens Sahlstrand (paper and book artist, professor emeritus at Central Washington University, and proprietor of ICOSA Studio and Papermill), and Michael Peich (proprietor of Aralia Press, a literary fine press, at West Chester University, PA).
