- Open des Artistes, awarded by a jury. Sales exhibition for the artist, the winning entry on the cover of Monaco Yellow Pages
- Public Choice, voted for by visitors to the exhibition at Galerie l'Entrepot. Work printed in Monaco White Pages
- Espoir, chosen by the jury for the cover of the collectors' edition of the Telephone Directory
