Student Art Contest
The Springfield Old Capitol Art Fair (SOCAF) Board, with the assistance of folks from Lindsay Lane Studios and DIM Art House, have completed their judging of the 2023 SOCAF Student Poster Contest. All judging was performed with personal identifying information removed (no student names, grades, schools, or teachers) to limit potential unconscious biases. We had over 70 entries submitted this year from 12 area schools, and the high quality of all of the entries made the job of our judges very difficult!
On behalf of the SOCAF Board, we are happy to announce the winners of the Student Poster Contest for 2023

- 2nd Place: “Recycled Rabbit” by Katherine Minch, 11th Grade, Springfield High School, Teacher: Beth Pianezza
- 3rd Place: “The Moon, Sky and Stars” by Lauren Wilson, 12th Grade, Springfield High School, Teacher: Beth Pianezza
