PROMPT
Tell us why you believe this student is an Artist of the Year.
Your statement does not need to be long. Ultimately, we are looking for a solid quote to publish in the paper that celebrates your student.
To this end, if you choose to write a short statement, it's important that your statement is well-written and coherent.
​
If you want to repurpose a recommendation that you have already written for your students, you can do that as well. But again, we need to pull a few sentences of it to publish in the paper.
​
Your statement will also be included with all materials presented to the judges.
