FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - The Winterfest Foundation Fantasy Boat Student Awards were held on Sunday, recognizing the talents and imagination of hundreds of young artists.
The Museum of Discovery and Science saw approximately 927 Broward County students entering their works of art on Sunday, illustrating the types of boats they hope to see in the annual Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade.
“We are so proud and happy with our 40+ year relationship with WSVN. Sharing our story and telling it, not just for the Winterfest Foundation, our students, junior captain, but also everything we do together for the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade,” said event director Dawn Diehl.
Participants from kindergarten through fifth grade used their imagination and skills for this competition.
“I made a flamingo and the alligator is on the flamingo and so these lines are the sunset and this is the sun,” said student participant Beatriz Arevalo.
More than $6,000 in cash and awards were presented during the ceremony, including a laptop courtesy of the Winter Foundation for the first-place winners.
