Art Fest

They had an art festival in my kids' school district recently, and of course my daughter had something up for competition in the show.

 It's a really fun picture, chock full of aliens, some of them from popular culture and others just things she hatched out of her own mind. Then she did the same thing with spaceships on the mat around the picture. Some of the ships were originals, others were the Millennium Falcon, the Enterprise, or the Rocinante.

As you can see, she got a ribbon on her picture. That rainbow colored ribbon meant that it got a judge's choice award. Normally at these things, we have no idea what the different colors of the ribbons signify, but they had this paper attached to one of the displays, so we could see what a rainbow ribbon meant.

The paper says that Judge's Choice ribbons were given to the work that the judge's thought was the best in the grade level, and though it didn't win best of show, it had been among the finalists for that award. Pretty cool for my daughter to do so well.
