We are thrilled to reveal the winners of the 2024 Annual AWCC Art Contest! This year, we received 116 submissions from talented artists across Alaska—and even from out of state. The theme, Animals of Alaska: Sky, Sea, and Land, inspired some amazing work.
After carefully reviewing all the submissions, our staff conducted an internal vote to narrow the selection down to 27 finalists, with nine entries in each age category. Then, we handed the tough decision over to you all! After tallying all the votes, we’re excited to announce our three winners, one from each age category.
The winning artworks will be transformed into exclusive limited-edition T-shirts, available for purchase at The Be Wild Gift Shop. In addition, we’ve selected one more piece to be featured on a T-shirt, and four additional pieces will be turned into stickers!
A big thank you to all of our participants and voters for making the 2024 Art Contest such a fantastic success!
Now, check out the winning artworks and get a sneak peek at the upcoming merch!
