Last week, our four special guest judges got together to review the nearly 1,300 entries we received for this year’s College Savings Mississippi Art Contest. It was a tough job as Mississippi students presented some excellent artwork!
We will announce our winners in the coming week and we will celebrate their future dreams at a reception at the Old Capitol on April 4. First, second, and third place winners in each of our four age divisions (PreK-2
