Thank you to everyone who entered the 2024 Student Scholarship Competition! The amount of submissions and the quality of the work resulted in a very competitive judging process. We are pleased to present the Featured Artists for this year’s show!

For those not accepted, we’d like to acknowledge the hard work each student and teacher puts into their craft, and we encourage everyone to continue to pursue their passions. This is how the art of illustration will continue to grow and thrive!

Thank you to our sponsors and donors for helping to make this scholarship program possible.
