More than 10,000 people strolled along Dunsborough's foreshore on the March long weekend to check out art work in this year's Sculpture by the Bay.
It was the most successful event to date with a record entry of sculptures on display and record crowds.
The event kicked off on Friday evening with an awards ceremony for the Small Sculpture prize which was held in Christian Fletcher's gallery.
The Now Gen Building Small Sculpture Prize winner was Yallingup's Sue Smorthwaite for her merino wool, flower wire, threads and hand-dyed kangaroo bones.
The Special Commendation Award went to Dunsborough's Vicky Small for her piece Salt, the sculpture was made from glass, copper, natural fibres, thread and salt crystals.
Ms Small said the piece represented more than one million hectares of land in the South West which was severely affected by dry land salinity.
In the Sculpture by the Bay, Margaret River artist Daniel Fisher was a double winner, taking out the main Dianne Laurance Award for Sculptural Excellence and the People’s Choice award.
He entered a magnificent owl in a tree sculpture titled the The Guardian.
Fellow Margaret River artist Kashmir Rouw was awarded the City of Busselton Acquisitive Award. His work, Stone Shell Spiral, will become a permanent feature on the Dunsborough Foreshore.
Perth artists Sean van de Poel and Lesley Barrett each won the Happs Emerging Artist Award and Christian Fletcher Environmental Message Award respectively.
Bunbury's James Horsley and Busselton's Larissa Izakovic were named the joint winners in the Braeco Darnart Recycling Award.
Sculpture by the Bay is held annually as part of the Dunsborough Arts Festival.
Besides the open-air exhibition, the festival featured markets, entertainment and even an X Factor competition for the region's youth.
