The sketching is quite simple (I could do that provided the the very same observations and gifted with enough patience)
The great thing about this is not the sketching but the observing. So this also contributes to such award?
In comparison I have in mind really great sketches like paintings which I never knew how how they produce them. They really add some impression while the above just delivers exact information.
(Don't want to run down your observation, Tom, it's just my understanding of sketching)
Quite in fact, a "sketch" is no "painting", but the last sketches awarded looked like paintings. So I'm in doubt about the criteria for such a nomination.
