In addition, an essay is submitted describing how the individual responds to the art emotionally and/or physically. Winners in each division receive prizes during the opening reception and will have their artwork on exhibit along with their written responses during May 2014. The goal of this exhibit is to communicate through images and words how our youth respond to the built environment.
