Judge's Statement
     In judging this competition, we looked first for originality in the artwork. We then explored how the artwork related to the theme of the show. And last, but not least, we studied the composition of the entries. We can see how much thought went into all of the artwork & want to encourage all of the students to keep creating & let your art continue to "light" up our community."
