Somersworth Youth Connection holds “Got Art?” Contest

SOMERSWORTH—
The first “Got Art?” contest was an enormous success, with over 120 Somersworth Middle School students submitting their artwork to be chosen for the first Somersworth Youth Connection art calendar. Students of all grades participated. This was an annual fund raising event for SYC, the after school program located at Somersworth Middle School. The contest began on Oct. 15 and ended Nov. 6. Thirteen works were chosen for the calendar by nine judges from the community. With so many submissions and so many talented artists in the Middle School, it was very difficult to choose just 13. The order forms are now available for the 12-month, full color calendars, which will be delivered by Dec. 14. The cost of the calendar is $12.
The winners were announced on Nov. 9. They are: Mason Cashman, Kathryne Cotler, Sophie Rancourt, Mychal Croteau, Taylor White, Chamaar Ollivierre, Jaimie Sharpe, Rhiannon Amereo, Dakota Paine, Dannon McGarrity, Tia Cloutier, Hilsa Parinding, and Kulin Krishan.
SYC would like to thank the generosity and support of those in the Somersworth community who were full banner sponsors, including Tri-City Dodge, Eastern Propane, Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, Profile Bank, DF Richard, and partial banner sponsors, including Labelle Building and Siding, Wicked Good Software, Anderson Computer, End the Violence, and Borderline Fuels.
If you are interested in purchasing a calendar or would like more information about the SYC program call Maureen Jackman at 603-692-2126, ext. 209.
