Yingling’s 4th Annual Student Art Contest, 2010

Thanks to the creative students at local elementary schools, the Yingling’s lobby is filled with dazzling art from our fourth annual art contest. Once again, our area artists have blown us away with their talent.

The theme for this year’s contest was Circus Cars. The students outdid themselves with drawings of elephants, ringleaders, trapeze artists, clowns and other circus regulars driving some very inventive vehicles.

While we loved all the pieces of art that were sent in, we had to choose a few winners. The awards ceremony took place at Yingling’s on May 13 —a day later than planned due to a troublesome tornado warning. The Best in Show winner and a winner from each grade were each presented with a cash prize by WIBW TV’s Ralph Hipp.

All the students who took part in the art contest received a certificate for putt-putt golf as a thank you for sharing their talent.

Thank you again to all the students, teachers and art teachers who have made these art contests so much fun past four years. We can’t wait to see what our young artists come up with next year.
