A statement from this year’s Secondary School Showcase judges:

“We would like to congratulate every student that submitted work for the 2008 Secondary School Showcase. It was an honor and our privilege to view the many fine pieces of art. It was a difficult task editing down to a manageable and displayable number. We edited as much as we could and ended up with 82 works of art.

Our objective was to not be critics in our choices but to create an exhibition showing the diversity of ideas and craftsmanship from a very talented body of students. Without exception, we saw the merit in every entry.

When it came down to choosing the work, we had to look at the strengths of every piece and determine which ones spoke the loudest to us. Others were not selected because their images were not clear enough for us to ascertain the works’ finer details.

Because of the high quality of every entry, we emphatically encourage all entrants to continue making their art.

Our best,

Ron Wennekes and Valerie Taglieri”
