The BIG query did Gwendolyn win a ribbon on the Oregon State Truthful.
Her penguin was within the 12 and underneath class and he or she was one of many youngest entries. Under you will note an image of her with entries – these are a mixture of 12 and youthful and 13 to 17.
The quick reply is unfortunately no. However there’s a little little bit of mama bear wanting to return out. I have no idea methods to write this with out coming off impolite? I knew there may very well be a difficulty when turning within the drawing the truthful employee acknowledged one thing that it was not very plausible that Gwendolyn drew the image.
I ensured her – she did ( which you all know the way a lot Gwendolyn has grown within the final 12 months along with her artwork). Lengthy story quick it appears like Gwendolyn’s drawing was not judged together with the others. I don’t need to put up different child’s work and tear anybody down however to know that she didn’t have an opportunity as a result of they didn’t suppose she drew her image herself breaks my coronary heart. For those who actually need to know who received first place the data is public on the Oregon State Truthful web site in visible arts.
However the excellent news is that Gwendolyn by no means knew in regards to the ribbons and was thrilled to be a part of the occasion and plans to enter subsequent 12 months. Undecided how to not get the identical consequence with the judging although. Gwendolyn needed me to thanks all for the feedback and even a few of you went and noticed the image in particular person!
