Second Place for sculpture at the Minnesota State Fair!

Happy to say that I won Second Place for the sculpture division of the Minnesota State Fair!
It is highly competitive and many people apply but few get in. I think my category typically only accepts 25 out of 45 or so finalists and typically more than 200 people apply for this category.

Part of what winning an award here is that there is so much great work in our state and it is very competitive. I have been in this show a number of times in the last 15 years or so and have won many awards but none as high as Second Place!
