2022 District 214, Daily Herald Community Art & Writing Contest winners

Artwork, poetry and fiction creating usually are not skills that are intended to fade absent following higher university. But adult daily life usually intrudes.

The once-a-year Arts Limitless District 214/Everyday Herald Community Arts and Composing Contest largely celebrates grown ups in our community who, even with the pressures of adulthood, have continued to go after their enthusiasm for the arts. Teens are allowed to enter, much too.

We are very pleased to current the 2022 winners. Here they are:
