Community Calendar Contest | Jan 26, 2025
I was happy to celebrate the artists that were chosen to be featured in my First Annual Community Calendar Contest, with an Artist Award event at my Constituency Office this afternoon.
Students from grades 3-6 across Essex County were invited to submit their original 8.5×11 colour artwork for consideration. The theme for the 2025 Calendar was “Things I Like To Do”.
Ten of the featured artists attended the event, along with their guests. Each artist received a recognition certificate and a Parliamentary-themed gift. Their beautiful art is not only highlighted each month in the Community Calendar, the original art is also framed on a feature wall in my Essex Constituency Office, where they will remain for the calendar year.
“My office has received many compliments, from members of the community, on the talent of the artists and the creativity of the featured pictures. I was thrilled with the participation in the contest and encourage the students to continue using their God-given talents to bless and encourage others. This was the first and I look forward to even more students participating in the future.”
Thanks to the students, but also to the parents and teachers that encouraged participation and took time out to celebrate with me these, talented young people!
