The first place winner received $4,000; second place received $2,500; and third place received $1,500.
CalArts and Chiquita announced the winners Thursday at a gallery reception featuring more than a dozen artwork submissions
This year’s winners were: First Place, Anaeis Ohanian; Second Place, Miguel Ayala; Third Place, Juhee Han; and Fourth Place, Rachel Yezbick.
“Chiquita Ca nyon is committed to actively supporting and celebrating our community, especially young people,” said Mike Dean, regional vice president of Southern California for Chiquita Canyon.
The works were judged by a panel of representatives from CalArts and the local arts community.
Chiquita Canyon and CalArts will continue their partnership on the Found Art Scholarship Program, and will be launching the 2016 competition during Spring Semester next year.
About Chiquita Canyon
Found ArtChiquita Canyon is located in Castaic, California, approximately 3 miles west of the Interstate 5 on State Route 126 in the Santa Clarita Valley. It has been in continuous operation for more than 40 years and is owned and operated by Waste Connections, an integrated solid waste services company. Chiquita Canyon provides the Santa Clarita Valley and surrounding Los Angeles communities with environmentally safe and efficient waste disposal services.
Chiquita Canyon, like other solid waste landfills, over time generates a greenhouse gas, methane, which can be safely converted into a valuable source of clean energy. Chiquita deploys a gas recovery system to collect methane which is then used to generate clean energy for nearly 10,000 homes each year.
