“The level of talent and creativity was remarkable. The judges and I had our work cut out for us. Congratulations to both Kaleah and Emily for their outstanding submissions,” said Supervisor Hays in the announcement. “This contest is one way to engage future voters in our community. I’m extremely pleased with the turnout, and I would like to thank every student who participated.”
Submissions were judged on theme, creativity, technique and composition by a panel of judges, who passed three finalists in each age category on to Hays to select winners. Hays presented framed certificates to both winners at a reception attended by their parents and respective teachers.
