Announcing: Department-level First-Place Winning Entries of the 2023-2024 Young American Creative Patriotic Art Contest!

Title of work: Reunion
Artist: William Chu
Department: Arizona
Sponsoring Auxiliary: Auxiliary 9399
Grade: 11

Each weekday at noon and 3 p.m. central time, we will post one state’s winning entry. This will be followed by the Department first-place 3-Dimensional Patriotic Art pieces. During National Convention, we will announce the National winners of these two scholarship contests in addition to the National winners of Illustrating America, our grades K-8 art competition.

Please keep in mind that these artists are students ranging in age from 5 to 18. They have all worked very hard on their art and deserve to be applauded for their time, talent and display of patriotism. We appreciate your support for these students!
