2011 Kids' Strawberry Art Contest Winners

Below are the prize winners and honorable mentions awarded by our panel of judges. Click on the names to see their artwork. More than 700 entries were submitted for this contest, and the judges had to work hard to make their final selections. Besides the original grade level categories, they created two additional categories:  "Posters" includes entries that combine drawings and words and tend to convey a message; these were chosen based on this combination of elements. "Realistic Observation" recognizes additional artists at all grade levels who did a noteworthy job of depicting strawberries or a strawberry farm. The remarkable drawing to right, by eighth grader Myah Wise, was selected as "Best of Show". 

  Thank you to all young artists who participated. Thanks also to the parents and teachers who supported them in this effort and helped send in their entries.
