In the Junior section, Conor Douris (piano) was the winner for his performance of Jack-in-the-box from Pick-up Pieces by Philip Martin. The Senior winner was Frances McQuillan (flute) for her performance of Upside-down for Melanie by Joseph Groocock. The awards were presented at the Prizewinners' Concert on Wednesday 18 April in the Good Shepherd Chapel of WIT.
