All of the artwork the Carlsbad Unified Council presented here has been selected by the student's home school as most exemplary of that school's submissions. The artwork then went through a second round of judging districtwide. We are thrilled to showcase it. Click on the "Art Gallery Categories" below to view the submissions.
A group of distinguished professional artists judged the artwork shown herein, and the judges have assigned each an award level. The highest award level is Award of Excellence. The second highest award level is Award of Merit. The third highest level is Honorary Mention. The final level of award is a Celebration Award for Participation. The award is listed with each piece of art.
We are happy to announce that 19 pieces have moved onto the next level of judging, the PTA Ninth District. These have received an Award of Excellence . The Ninth District collects artwork from throughout participating PTAs in San Diego and Imperial counties, judges those pieces, and the selected few will move onto the State of California level of judging. The winners of the State level move onto the National level.
Please enjoy these works of art. We believe that they are all true masterpieces. Thank you to all of our amazing artists for sharing your work!
