"A public art award that's gone from strength to strength across a decade is a rare phenomenon. It's a sign of a committed sponsor and an ambitious council, but above all it proves that the arts are flourishing in Kent as never before. The winner in 2004, Rosie Leventon's Ring, is a work of national signifigance."
