Congratulations! Elbert's artwork has been selected High merit award!

I’m thrilled to share that my student, Elbert, has been selected as a Merit Winner in the Celebrating Art Book Contest for his artwork Landscape with Cars! Congratulations to Elbert for his creativity and hard work—so proud to see his talent recognized!

The Celebrating Art Contest is a prestigious national competition that showcases the artistic talents of students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Organized to inspire young artists, the contest provides a platform for students to express their creativity through various mediums, including drawing, painting, photography, and digital art.

What sets this contest apart is its commitment to recognizing outstanding student artwork by selecting top entries for publication in the Celebrating Art book, a professionally bound collection that highlights young artists from across the country. Students who achieve recognition as Merit Winners have their work featured alongside other exceptional pieces, providing them with a sense of accomplishment and national exposure.

The contest is held multiple times a year, allowing schools, art teachers, and independent students to participate regularly. Judging is based on creativity, originality, and artistic skill, with categories tailored to different age groups to ensure fairness.

Being selected as a Merit Winner is a significant achievement, reflecting not just artistic talent but also dedication and passion. The contest not only motivates young artists to strive for excellence but also encourages them to share their unique perspectives with a broader audience.
