However, the judges for this year’s contest were impressed by all 30 entries, making it very difficult to select the winners. We hope each student who entered the contest is proud of their outstanding artwork.

We are very grateful to this year’s judges: Bob Silery, Matti Liane and Virgina Hernandez, for their time and effort.
