Through the Creative Self-Expression Show, our students have an opportunity to compete for awards and prizes not only at the local level, but also at a National level. Participating The Great Frame Up stores across the country will submit one local winner from each participating high school to the National Contest. All art that is submitted to the National Competition will be judged by our Spokesperson, Ms. Jane Seymour, and a panel of judges for an opportunity to win a $2000 scholarship.
The Great Frame Up of Niles hosted the work of our talented GBS students. Among all 30 entries, there were 4 categories: Painting, Drawing, Photography, and Jewelry. Under each category there was a first place winner awarded a participation certificate along with a $50.00 check.
These winners included:
- Viky Kryvanos-Drawing
- Inhwan Choi-Painting
- Mallery Boczek-Jewelry
- Nina Miceli-Photography
Along with these outstanding awards, there was an award titled "Best of Show" given to the one student who's work was voted by professional artists as the best in show. That student is Inhwan Choi! Being awarded best in show, Inhwan's painting will be traveling to the national competition to then be judged amongst other best in show artworks throughout the entire nation. Good luck Inhwan!
Congratulations to all who participated and to the GBS Art Department for their tremendous work with our students!
