Having only the judges vote didn’t hurt the attendance at all- 200+ people showed up to cheer for their favorites.
The last two to transfer to the April 9th finals were both “first timers” in the CultureShapers event. Congratulations to Anna Price (Senior at Klein Oak) who won $500 and 1st place. Second place and $300 went to Anthony Cahoon (Senior at College park).
The competition was very, very close among all contestants which was evident by a TIE for third place between Chandler Roberts (home schooled Junior), and Robin Van Zandt (Junior at Elkins).
We hope to see as many as can for the first semi finals of next year that begin September 17th. But before then, come and pack the house April 9th for the BEST of the BEST!

About the Culture Shapers Jurying Process...
Culture Shapers jurors are a combination of educators and professionals, who come highly recommended to us by other notable organizations, such as the Visual Arts Scholastic Event (VASE), as well as others. Many of our jurors have experience both in and out of the classroom, which gives them a unique and valuable perspective on evaluating student artwork.
