Olentangy Liberty High School
Juror’s Remarks: The Faun, a woodland creature with pointed ears and short horns of a goat, with a fondness for unrestrained revelry as well as symbolic of peace and fertility. Fauns inspire fear in those traveling in lonely, remote, or wild places, and are capable of guiding people in need. A faun named Mikey. It鈥檚 lighthearted, clever, and extremely well-executed.

Martins Ferry High School
Juror’s Remarks: The blues. Inner contemplation. Sadness. Fingers that run through hair and leave blue pastel chalk everywhere. The Blues is also a music genre that captures the suffering, anguish, and hopes of 300 years of slavery and tenant farming. The phrase “the blues” was first written by Charlotte Forten, a free-born black woman from Pennsylvania who was working as a schoolteacher in South Carolina. She said blues songs, “can’t be sung without a full heart and a troubled spirit.” Do we remember, or have we forgotten?

Union Local High School
Juror’s Remarks: Indeed! It鈥檚 been a strange and complicated year. Things I never imagined would become controversial took on shocking political meaning. I appreciate how this acrylic painting poses one of the most important questions of our current time without taking a position. Although I鈥檓 pretty sure I know what the artist means to say with this piece. But maybe I鈥檓 wrong, and the point is to start a conversation!

Bottled Fish
graphite on paper
18″ x 12″
Waverly High School
Juror’s Remarks: National Geographic suggests that plastic pollution has become one of the most听pressing environmental issues of our time, as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world鈥檚 ability to deal with them. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a floating accumulation of mostly plastic debris that covers an estimated听area three times the size of France and floats between Hawaii and California. In this one piece, we鈥檙e confronted with a plastic bottle that looks like a fish but isn鈥檛. We should pay attention.

Bro Ken
soft pastels
20″ x 16″
Lakota West High School
Juror’s Remarks: Perhaps the perfect metaphor for the current time. Or maybe just a simple still life in chalk pastel of a hand holding a broken and dripping egg. Beautiful yet fragile. It鈥檚 thin membrane barely holds the yolk together. Is this a metaphor for the tenuous world in which we all live? This piece also plays with language. Broken. Bro Ken. Sometimes less is more and simple is complicated.
