last Sunday, March 22, my ceramic pony was entered into the annual Artists' Guild Competition. Among my piece were 206 other displays of master artists ;].

Each hall was a seperate judging, holding pieces from many different High Schools throughout the St. Louis area.

As I meandered through the short coridoors, tiny placks on each doorframe announced my enterance to every room;including the name[s] of the great artist it honored. The awards of the evening listed these names as well as the winning student and his/her piece entered.

In addition, every winning piece had a note at its base that proclaimed it a winner. When I approached my piece [completely unaware at the time] i came across a finely printed adhesive sticker placed right at the foot of my creation.


I WON THE PRIZE IN MY CATEGORY!!!

im happy :]
