Eva Dillon, 13, of Elverson, won second prize in the October 2014 Cricket League art competition.
“I was really surprised to hear that I won second place! It made me really happy!” Eva writes to Tri County Record.
For this contest, each entrant was asked to submit original artwork with a Halloween theme. Eva’s artwork appears on the Cricket League pages of the February 2015 issue and is posted at www.cricketmagkids.com/contests.
“Cricket magazine hosted a Halloween themed art contest in October. I enjoy drawing horses–so a skeletal horse seemed like a pretty good idea!” writes Eva.
According to a release from the magazine, “Cricket features the best short stories, poems, and articles by the world’s finest children’s authors and is illustrated by the best artists from here and abroad. In each issue, award-winning CRICKET sponsors a different and unique writing or art competition, with hundreds of entries pouring in each time from enthusiastic CRICKET readers all over the world. Winners receive prizes and recognition, and the best entries are published in the magazine and on its Web site for children: www.cricketmagkids.com/contests.
“I plan to keep drawing,” writes Eva. “I enjoy drawing birds and I would love to some day sell my drawings and donate to charity.”
