In collaboration with the students of Parkdale Public School, Toronto, The Children's Choice Awards featured a jury of kids, ranging in age from 7 - 15, critiquing the art works presented at Alley Jaunt based on criteria they developed, and distributing awards at the offical ceremony on Saturday August 11.

The jury was comprised of some of Parkdale's brightest minds: Sanath, Latha, Callum, Kahlil, Zoe, Lara, Dalton, Lauren, Camille, Wendy and Hayley. They spent the entire day walking through the alleys around Trinity Bellwoods Park, sharing the duty of pulling injured jury member, Lara, in a wagon and reviewing the 32 intstallations.

The jury sat under a tree in Trinity Bellwoods park and, in heated and confusing deliberations that almost popped a blood vessel in Artistic Director Darren O'Donnell's brain, chose the lucky and talented recepients of the 14 chocolate-covered trophies that the jury had laboured over all week.
