Young Americanos Exhibit
Photographs have an ability to tell a story unlike any other medium. Through photographs we not only see images, but we are able to hear and feel the people and the places captured by the photographer. Young Americanos presents photographs by Valley youth from a competition sponsored by Farmers Insurance Group in cooperation with IMAS and local schools. The competition is conducted in association with Americanos: Latino Life in the United States, which preceded this exhibition. Young Americanos is a multi-faceted program that wards academic scholarships annually to winners of the photography contest. Through a specially developed curriculum guide, the program also provides students with unique and engaging classroom activities using photographs, and it gives instructors invaluable training through periodic teacher workshops.
Prizes were awarded to the winning photographers at a special ceremony at the Museum December 14th hosted by Farmers Insurance. The Grand Prize Winner was Courtney L. Bess. Other winners were:
