5th Annual Student Art Contest
The 5th annual Performance Coatings Inc. Student Art Contest was held in conjunction with the 9th Annual Jazz Festival. On May 17th and 18th, the musicians, CEO, and the President of Performance Coatings Inc. judged the many entries displayed at the Spotswood Performing Arts Barn. The theme for this year's contest was Jazz-The All American Art. Performance Coatings Inc. received entries from schools in Mendocino County, and some schools as far away as Portland, Oregon.
The art departments of the first, second, and third place winner's schools received $500, $400, and $300 respectively to be used by the art department. Each of the winners received a trophy, each of the nine honorable mention winners received a plaque, with each participant given a ribbon.
CEO Barbara Newell was quite pleased with this year's entries, "The entries seem to get better with each passing year." Below are the winners of the contest and a few of their entries.
