Donne won Best of Show for the 2006 Winter Park Autumn Art Festival.

Donne won Best of Show for the 2006 Mount Dora Arts Festival. The judges comment that, "Donne Bitner's work is complex. The images are layered with textures that mest to give her works a unique voice which makes its own statement. This subtle quality is reflected not only in the chosen work but also in all the works in her booth. Her visual strength is beautifully connected to the best of contemporary art."
