Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill and personal voice or vision.

Taryn Schreiner and Markel Soikes received a Gold Key and will compete in nationals, Schreiner for her painting titled “Help” and Soikes for his art portfolio.

Received Regional Awards and recognition were AnnaMarie Forza, honorable mention; Keeva Johnson, honorable mention and Silver Key; Rebecca Messex, honorable mention, and Schreiner, Silver Key.

The western region includes Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
