Awards for the 5 division winners at the state level will include a $50.00 cash prize and a trophy. See the “Entry Form” for division breakdown by grades. The Senior Division winner at the state level will receive a $300.00 scholarship.

The instructor/art teacher of each state level division winner will receive an award of $100.00 to be used toward the purchase of classroom art supplies.

The child nutrition manager at the school of each state level winner will receive paid ASFSA dues for the year 2009.
