Your vote counts for the People Choice Award. Help a local student win a scholarship.

VOTING UPDATE: I've extended the deadline to vote for the People's Choice award in my annual student art competition! The new deadline to vote is Monday, March 5, 2018, at 12 noon Pacific Time.

To vote for an entry, you can ONLY select the “like,” “love,” or “wow” reactions. Your vote will NOT be counted if you select the “angry,” “sad,” or “haha” reactions. Any disrespectful comments on art entries will not be tolerated and will be deleted. It is recommended that you view the album on a desktop or laptop computer because not all photos may appear on a mobile device. The recipient of the People’s Choice award will receive a $250 scholarship and a $125 gift card for art supplies. The winning piece will also be displayed in my district office for one year.
