I am pleased to announce the winners of this year’s Coloring Contest.  The Overall winner is Victoria Adkins of Frenchburg , Kentucky in Region 7.  Victoria ’s picture gathered the most votes of all the entries in the contest!   Most Original was the picture submitted by Grace Farley of Lincoln , Nebraska in Region 21.  She used a technique using glue mixed with color to create a “wash” effect.  First place winners in the age categories are as follows:  7-9 yrs old, Pres Lang of Region 24; 10-12 yrs old, Sarah Green of Region 21; 13-15 yrs old, Miriam Winzer of Region 22; 16 – 18 yrs old, Victoria Adkins.  This year’s picture was submitted by Chris Raymond of Region 18.  Judging was done by the attendees of the Region 15 Fall Meeting in San Diego , CA .  All of them commented on how difficult it was to choose the winners.  Cash prizes were awarded to all the entrants.  Congratulations to everyone!
