The Ohio Governor's Youth Art Exhibition, now in its forty-eighth year, is dedicated to the educational and artistic advancement of our talented young people in the state of Ohio. The process of selecting artworks for the state exhibition begins on a regional level. The state is divided into 15 regional locations, with high school students in each region invited to enter work in that regional judging.
The state judging takes place in Columbus this weekend. From the 11,500 regional entries in the 15 regions, approximately 2,500 are selected to enter the state judging. State jurors then select 300 for the actual exhibition, with 25 of the 300 chosen to receive the Governor's Award of Excellence. Scholarships are offered to seniors by over 30 universities and colleges of art.
Good luck to the following Kings High School students whose work will be competing at the STATE judging this weekend:
Lydia Ball, Tim Bredemeier, Avneet Dharni, Kevin Lewis, Grace Pansch, Brooke Rayburn, Erin Seccia, Hayden Shallenberger, Sarah Silva, Sydney Theiss, Shannon Tuggle, and Ellie Wade

Rotary International is a world-wide organization dedicated to serving others. Great emphasis is placed on using one’s vocation, not only to serve others, but to establish honesty and integrity as marks of one’s profession and involvement in the world of work. The Four-Way Test has a long tradition or use around the world and is a part of Rotary’s motto: Service Above Self.
