Top Ten Winners and High Merit Entries

We have had the comment that our winners are too good and that there is no way a student could do art that is that good. We disagree. Yes, the winners are good. That is why they are winners. Their work is far above their grade level. When you have thousands of entries, then the "Mozart of Art" (a child prodigy) is often among the entries. For each winner, before giving the awards, we verify with the student's art teacher and parents that the work was completed by the student. In the book, the Top Ten winners and also other excellent pieces that are given High Merit are recognized. You need only be in the top 25% to be invited to be published. The links below will show you the Top Ten Winners and High Merit students in each contest.
