FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Organizers of the Winterfest Art Contest have announced the winners at the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale.
The winners were announced at a ceremony held on Thursday.
Hundreds of third, fourth and fifth graders from public, private and charter schools across Broward County were asked to use their imagination and artistic talents to draw pictures of boat designs they would like to see in the annual Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade.
“We had 774 applicants, which is tremendous,” said First Horizon Bank Senior Vice President Jeni Chokron.
Stella Flowers was crowned the first place winner in the contest.
“My artwork is about hamsters, because I have my own hamster,” Flowers said. “Because they’re nocturnal, I made it nighttime. Some are partying, some are sleeping, and that guy’s just eating a cookie.”
Their artwork will be on display at the museum through March 2.
“We’re going to display the artwork here at the museum,” said Museum of Discovery and Science CEO Joe Cox, “so that visitors can come in [and] enjoy the next week or so.”
