Whew, you all REALLY outdid yourselves this year with about 350 stunning entries! Choosing “winners” from all those was quite a challenge – I wish I could send prizes to you all <3 For the time being, you can view the entire gallery of entries saved in highlight bubbles on my Instagram. (There are two highlights for both the 0-7 and 8-12 age categories, as the highlight bubbles can only hold 100 pictures each!)
First Place Winners:
Age 0-7: Tirzah S, age 7
Age 8-12: Iris R, age 12
Age 13-17: Samantha H, age 15
18+: Julianna R
Given the increased number of entries, I decided to double the spots to the “Additional Winners” group <3 As usual, they are drawn proportionally according to which categories had the most entries (the two younger groups) so there are MANY stunning pieces from the teens and adults that are not featured here. In ascending order of age (pictures individually labeled in gallery):
Michelle L, age 5; Johnny H, age 6; Olivia H, age 6; Henry B, age 7; Vivienne H, age 7; Zita G, age 7; Timothy D, age 8; Aaron J, age 9; Anna K, age 9; Maryem S, age 9; Molly A, age 9; Eleanor W, age 10; Opal R, age 10; Paul D, age 10; Charlotte F, age 11; Araceli F, age 13; Maria A G, age 13; Gianna D, age 14; Madeline F, age 16; Kellie R; and Victoria H.
Winners have all been contacted, and prizes and cards will be going out shortly! Thank you to everyone who participated. I hope you will join us again next year!
