Judged by Garry Barker, Andrew Stewart and Diane Sinnot, the prizes were awarded at the preview evening.
£1000 – for Best Picture in Show. Sponsored by the Trustees on behalf of Great North Art Show
“The Red Room” by Sarah Sharpe
Judges comments: “A deeply felt and meditative painting in a tradition that goes back through Cecil Collins and Craigie Atchison. All essential detail stripped away letting the sombre colour and apparently simple form carry the force of the image”.
£1000 – for the Best Body of Work sponsored by Carter Jonas 
Wendy Jones being presented with the award by Austin Mitchell, MP
Judges comments: “Intense, elevating the allotment to something significant. The patterning of the paint echoes the structural principles of planting. Joyful and exuberant.”
£750 – for the Best print or etchings sponsored by Harrowells 
Awarded to Laney Birkhead
Judges comments: “Mystical evocation of landscape that illustrates an intensity of vision”.
