The competition, which is open to high school students from the Third District, is designed to promote greater participation and understanding of the arts by young people. This year is no exception. The students, teachers, and families have worked hard to make the Competition a success. I also would like to thank the many local businesses and individuals who made the awards possible. The awards ceremony will take place on Friday, May 12 at the St. Joseph County Public Library's Main Branch on 304 South Main Street in South Bend.
Winners receive cash prizes and gift certificates to the Makielski art supply store.
In addition, each teacher of a winning student will also receive a Makielski gift certificate. These extra awards recognize their commitment to student development and the community.
