Thank you to everyone who participated in our NY/SC 2025 Art Contest! We had many wonderful submissions & after reviewing them, we would like to introduce our winning submission! Here’s Leila’s artist bio:
My design is about looking back on Japanese-American history. The girl representing the future, is reminiscing about internment camps and the historical contributions of previous generations to the legacy of Japanese-Americans. The backdrop is a red circle representing the sun on the Japanese flag, and literally, our Japanese background. My submission shows how I hope in the future our community will retain the knowledge and history it holds.
