The Virginia College Savings Plan recently held a poster contest called, "Drawing Your Dreams." The grand prize was a complete scholarship for 4 years of in-state tuition -- worth about $36,000.
Daisy was a finalist, drawing a self portrait out in the field with a shovel and a pick. In a font, she created out of different colored pebbles, she wrote, "I Dig Rocks." I think it was a close contender for first place (but maybe that's just because I'm biased). There were over 1,200 entries for Kindergarten and over 11,000 entries overall. Her consolation prize was $250 in her Virginia Education Savings Trust account, pretty good for a 6-year-old.
I hope we see the art again...they said they can't give it back to us, but maybe they'll make note cards or a calendar with it.
Regardless, I'm proud of her for having a dream and for drawing it! The winners' art is pretty incredible....including the kindergarden entry who beat her....drawing in cursive.

Go, Daisy! That's awesome! She is a girl of many talents, just like her mommy. :)
Congratulations to your daughter! My daughter was a finalist (not top winner) too and I stumbled upon your blog when searching to see if anyone had blogged about it. Hope that $250 has some serious growth over the years :-)
