We had 35 entries this year, and all of them demonstrated exceptional quality, which is no less than we have come to expect from our exceptional students.
 
All students who submitted work for consideration in this year’s contest should feel proud of yourselves and the work that you do. We are confident that you will continue to strive for excellence in your academic achievements and beyond.
 
Let us also thank and congratulate the faculty sponsors of these students for their guidance and support. I would further like to extend warm thanks to the AC faculty who volunteered their time to serve as judges for this year’s contest.
