Huge thanks to all of the young artists that submitted their art to the 988Create campaign! We are incredibly honored to have learned so much from our volunteer professional judge Cory Woodall from the Juneau-Douglas City Musuem and from all of the brave and talented youth that submitted their works of art. We were able to award one additional artist in the larger submission category thanks to Cory’s willingness to volunteer. All of the winning submissions will be added here once we have finalized versions of their art. You can preview these pieces on our social media accounts.
