More than 300 young artists from every
corner of Virginia entered work in Cooperative Living�s 2008 Youth Art
Contest. This year�s theme, �What do you want to be when you grow
up?,� drew a stellar assortment of entries, ranging in subject matter
from astronaut to entomologist to rock star.
As in years past, your Cooperative
Living staff struggled to choose winners � the display of talent and
creativity was truly out of this world! It is interesting to note that
even in a blind vote with a large number of top-notch entries, we have had
several repeat winners over the years. Remarkably, this year�s Best in
Show winner is the sibling of last year�s recipient!
The Best-in-Show entrant will receive
a $100 gift card; the first-place winner in each grade will receive a $25
gift card. Again we would like to thank all of our talented young artists
for taking the time to share your work with us. Regardless of whether or
not your entry was selected, you can be certain that it was appreciated!
Editor�s note: We had several excellent entries
done in horizontal format that had to be eliminated. Contest
specifications required entries to be in vertical format.
