California State Parks Foundation Announces 2nd Annual Youth Art Contest Winners

http://goldrushcam.com/

We are pleased to announce the winners of our 2nd annual Youth Art Contest! This year’s competition was exceptionally competitive, with nearly 400 students ages 4 to 18 entering artwork inspired by the theme “Discovering State Parks.” Nearly three times as many youth participated this year than last year!

Youth artists used a variety of artistic mediums — from drawings using pencil, crayons, chalk and ink to photography, and paintings using water color, acrylic and oil.

The “Discovering State Parks” theme was powerfully reflected in the work of this year’s youth artists. Through each piece, they showed the large diversity of state parks in California, as well as the diversity of experiences that individuals can have in them.

Our first, second, and third place and Judges Award winners in each age category will receive prizes from CSPF’s online store, and all of our participants will receive certificates of achievement in recognition of their talents. We are currently in the process of scheduling artwork displays in venues throughout California.
