Many thanks are in order . First of all , thanks to the ARTA staff who assisted in advertising the contest , receiving all the entries , and conducting the Reviewr training . Such assistance is invaluable and very much appreciated . Thank you to the nine volunteer ARTA-member judges who shared their time and expertise to evaluate the entries and collaborate to determine the winners in each category . Most of all , I want to thank all the ARTA members who took the time to create their pieces .
You all contributed to the success of the contest .
