Santa Clarita Sister Cities is pleased to announce the winners of the 2021 Young Artists and Authors Showcase – Donnah Moon from West Ranch High School for Art, Lizbet Herrera from Bowman High School for Photography, Sophia Rostamo from Saugus High School for Essay, DongChan Im from Valencia High School for Poetry, Danielle Sligh from Hart High School for Original Music, and Emma Reed from Canyon High School for Reinterpreted Music.
These student’s artwork, music, photography, essay and poetry, along with those of the finalists, have been submitted to Sister Cities International in Washington D.C. to compete at the national level for the $1,000-grand prize in each category.
This year’s theme was “United in Hope” and students were asked to convey, through their entries, their vision of citizen diplomacy and how hope can be a uniting force during this challenging time when the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are felt globally.
Community members can view these students’ winning entries, along with the finalists and all art submissions by our talented youth, at the virtual gallery at https://tinyurl.com/SisterCitiesUnitedInHope.
