UPDATE: LOGSTON WINS GRAND PRIZE => http://scvnews.com/?p=31296

Stevenson Ranch resident Cari Logston, a student at The Master’s College in Placerita Canyon, is one of 24 finalists in a nationwide art and essay contest put on by Church Hill Classics, a Connecticut company that manufactures frames for college diplomas.

The contest opened last October and drew more than 10,500 entries.

Called “Frame My Future,” the contest asked students to submit “an original “creation” expressing what they hope to achieve in their personal and professional life after college.”

Students submitted a ranch of media including photographs, poems, essays, collages, artwork, graphic design, and other imaginative pieces.

Now it’s your turn. The public gets to vote now through May 3 to select the winners from the 24 finalists.

The top five winners will receive $1,000, and the No. 1 pick will get an additional donation of $1,000 to go to his or her college or university scholarship endowment fund.

A copy of Logston’s entry follows:

On the right is my hand that I use to create and pursue my passion for graphic design. My mom’s hand on the left, along with the rest of her body, is severely paralyzed due to Multiple Sclerosis. My hands lift, carry, feed, and assist her daily. My hands also write, draw, design, and play music. These hands are how I frame my future because I will use mine to create and achieve academic success in addition to functioning for all the things my mom’s hands cannot do.
