(We renamed this award to the Dawn Ellen Valois Memorial Award. Dawn was a staunch supporter of Gateway & Nick's Place. She passed shortly after winning this award and we felt it fitting her legacy carry on. We miss Dawn's spirit and love but throughout the gallery you will find subtle reminders of her presence.)
