ARTEFFFECT is excited to announce 34 winners in the 10th annual competition. In total, $37,250 in prizes were awarded to the 34 winners across the middle and high school divisions.
In this year’s international competition, students in grades 6-12 explored and championed the stories of LMC Unsung Heroes—role models who made a positive and profound, yet previously unrecognized, impact on the course of history. For their entries, these young artists created original works of art and wrote reflective impact statements to reframe these untold stories in an array of artistic expressions and reflections.
“Through the focus on Unsung Heroes, these young artists make critical connections between the past, present, and future, and come to recognize their own potential to stimulate positive change in the world. The competition invites a range of mediums and artistic expressions. These award-winning projects convey the historical significance of their subjects in burgeoning contemporary styles,” said ARTEFFECT Executive Director Dr. Toni Guglielmo. “We applaud the amazing achievements of the 2025 winners.”
