This year's winner of the COA Award at the annual Keppel Bay Shell Show was Heather Smith with her display of “Worldwide Large Bivalves." It was a well-attended event and featured over 25 categories of competitive events. Some categories were restricted to a molluscan family like Cypraeide or Conidae, or a genus like Lambis, while others were more general like bivalves or land snails. Shells of the show included the gastropod Trigonostoma milleri Burch, 1949,displayed by Robert Ellis, and the bivalve Amiantis purpurata (Lamarck, 1818), displayed by Thora Whitehead.
