            **JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas (AFNS) --**The**Air Force Services Center** recently announced the winners of the annual Air Force Art Contest.
The contest ran March 1-31. A team of judges evaluated each entrant’s artwork for impact, creativity, and technical criteria in adult and youth categories. 
More than 790 artists submitted more than 1,000 pieces of art using a variety of media.
“The judging for this contest is tough every year because there are so many outstanding entries in every category. It is very hard to select only the top three in each,” said **Col. Christopher Parrish**, AFSVC commander. “This is a great opportunity for our Air Force family members to show off their artistic creativity and imagination.”
One family is especially proud as their three children each won first Place in the youth categories. They are Morgan (Youth 13-17), Silas (Youth 9-12) and Eason Becker (Youth 6-8) from **Hill Air Force Base**, Utah.
Lt. Col. (Dr.) Francis Becker, dentist and flight commander of the dental clinic at Hill AFB, and wife, Lori, couldn't be more excited for their kids winning the contest and being able to show off their artistic abilities.  
“We are thankful for those involved in supporting the art contest. It has been a great way for our kids to channel their creativity,” Lori said.
Morgan was also a winner in the 2019 Air Force Art contest.
“With my art, there were times when I felt like giving up, but I continued to stick with it,” Morgan said. “I think that my determination not only made me a stronger person, but also a better artist.”
