The Art of Idealism art competition has come to a close. The votes have been counted, the final judging has taken place, and below, you can see all 24 winners!
Since launching the competition, we received about 400 pieces from all corners of the City Year community, and the Art of Idealism website has been visited more than 90,000 times. Through the 7,000 individual votes, the public selected 75 finalists, and from that group, a judging panel selected the 1 winner for each story you see below.
All members of the City Year community are represented below. Among the winners we have 9 corps members, 5 staff members, 7 alumni, 1 student and many friends and supporters.
Tomorrow we will announce the overall runner-up and on Wednesday we will announce the grand prize winner, who will be the proud new owner of a Kindle Fire! Stay tuned and congratulations to the winners!
Thank you to everyone who submitted artwork, casted votes, or helped spread the word about the competition! Your artwork will bring our Founding Stories to life in a soon-to-be published Founding Stories book that will be available for purchase.
