Alexandria - Delegate David Englin today announced the winners of his 1st Annual Youth Art Contest, held in partnership with members of the local arts community.
“There were many terrific entries, and it was very difficult to select the winning submissions,” said Englin. “The arts are an important part of the economy of the 45th District, and this was a fun way to engage students, let them show off their creativity, and give them a chance to enjoy tangible rewards from their artistic expression.”
Englin partnered with A Show of Hands in Del Ray to administer the contest, and Convoy Skateboards and Burke and Herbert Bank and Trust Company generously provided prizes.
Here are the winners:
- Narisse King wins a custom skateboard deck and a t-shirt from Convoy Skateboards for her abstract skateboard design.
