And
The Winners Are....
My Favorite Activity
Our Commonwealth is blessed with an
uncommon wealth of talent, as seen again and again in Cooperative
Living�s annual youth art contest. Here are the winning entries in this
year�s competition, themed "My Favorite Activity."
More than 300 young artists from every corner of
Virginia
entered work in Cooperative Living�s 2007 Youth Art Contest.
This year�s theme, �My Favorite
Activity,� elicited a grand assortment of entries, ranging in subject
matter from sports to bug collecting to an obvious favorite, creating art.
As in years past, your Cooperative
Living staff struggled to choose winners in this stellar show of
creativity. To borrow a phrase from the Peace Corps, it�s one of the
toughest jobs we�ve ever loved. This year marks our fifth annual
competition, and the judging hasn�t gotten any easier � each piece has
its own unique appeal. It is interesting to note that even in a blind vote
with a large number of entries, we have had several repeat winners over
the years.
The Best-in-Show entrant will receive
a $100 check; the first-place winner in each grade will receive a check
for $25.
