Annual Art Contest – 2009
The Heritage Association of Frisco’s Annual Art Contest was a huge success this past Thursday, May 14th. Our sincere appreciation and thanks goes out to all the students, teachers, and administration staff of the FISD, to the Heritage Association of Frisco’s Board, Members and Volunteers, to our participating sponsors and to the City of Frisco. The Council Chambers was the ideal spot for the ceremony with its double screens allowing for the projection of the student’s artwork and microphones, which gave the students the special treat of announcing their own name and grade level as they received their award. Not only did the ceremony recognize and celebrate the talent of these 53 students and awarded $2,500 dollars in cash prizes, but also made mention of the teachers and instructors that inspired these young Picassos.
For the past eight years, the Heritage Association of Frisco has donated all the funds for the awards, but this year two outstanding companies, Babe’s Chicken Dinner House and Richardson Bike Mart of Frisco, kindly contributed to this special event with donations to benefit these talented and future artists. Twenty-seven elementary students were awarded with a first place certificate and $25. A total of eighteen first and second place certificates and a prize of $75 or $50 were awarded to middle school artists while high school students (8) received $100 or $75 and a certificate for their entries. Local Frisco judges and talent, including Artist – Misty Oliver Foster, Photographer – Craig Maccubbin, Journalist – Jane Whitledge, Video Producer – Marla Fields, and Illustrator, Larry Daste, had a difficult time choosing from the 585 entries that best reflected this year’s theme, “Frisco In Motion: Exploring Modes of Transportation Through Time”.
The Art Contest has been a tradition of the Heritage Association of Frisco for nine years now and is part of our mission of researching, preserving, and sharing our heritage within the community while inspiring the City’s youth. The winning artwork will be on display throughout the summer at the Heritage Museum and potentially within FISD Communications.
