March 8, 2016 โ€“ The Southwest Washington Regional High School Art Show has named the award recipients for 2016. The show received a record 267 entries from 223 students at 26 high schools across 17 districts. There were a total of 45 pieces given awards, 19 of which will move on to the state art show at OSPI in Olympia.

Pieces were scored anonymously by a panel of four judgesโ€“all art professionals or art teachers outside the regionโ€“based on four categories: Originality, Composition, Technique and Emotion. The scores were then tallied and awards were determined, based on the total number of pieces submitted.

In addition to the Art Show awards, seven students received scholarships from two colleges: Central Washington University and the Oregon College of Art & Craft.

The awards and scholarships will be presented at the Gallery Opening and Award Ceremony on Tuesday, March 15 at the ESD 112 main office in Vancouver. The gallery opens at 5 p.m. and the ceremony starts at 6 p.m. The art will remain on display through March 31.

For more information, contact Art Show Coordinators Jodi Thomas or Melissa Burt.
