We are pleased to announce the finalists for this year's art contest! Young artists submitted artwork portraying this year's theme of "What do the Colorado Outdoors Mean to You?" This was a record year for entries, and we had to narrow down finalists from nearly 400 entries. SOLE would like to thank everyone who participated this year. It was tough on the judges who had to choose just ten finalists for each region!

Final judging is occurring right now, and winners will be announced on May 9, 2018. Winning art will be on public display in multiple areas throughout the state to show off these talented artists. The grand prize for each region's winner will include an annual State Parks Pass!
