All 40 winners will receive two tickets to Schlitterbahn, one ticket to the USS Lexington, coupons from Texas State Aquarium, prizes from Adopt-A-Beach, a certificate of recognition from the Texas General Land Office, and copies of the 2024 calendar displaying the winning artwork.

“Tania is an amazing artist who puts in the effort when it comes to doing her artwork,” said Ronnica Narvaez, O’Connor ACE Elementary Art Teacher. “Tania has received Gold Medal at the Houston Rodeo for her artwork The Stallion and 1st place in the Black History poster contest receiving scholarship money. I am proud of her and the effort she puts into her art pieces, but also excited for her future.”
