We Have a Winner!

A Bay Village student has claimed the top prize in Lake Erie Nature & Science Center’s 2010 T-shirt Art Design Contest. Nine-year-old Allie Maust’s winning design will be featured on the Center’s 2010 Limited Edition T-shirt. The Westerly Elementary School student produced colorful crayon art, edged in black and featuring a snake, a fish and an owl (animals that all reside at Lake Erie Nature & Science Center) surrounded by the stars and planets from the Center’s planetarium dome.

Allie’s artwork was chosen from among 15 finalists and more than 100 entries from artists of all ages. Facebook fans, online voters and Center visitors helped select the winner by submitting nearly 2,000 votes for their favorites!

Center Executive Director Catherine Timko presented Allie with a $100 cash prize during Spring Break week. She will also receive a T-shirt featuring her design once they are produced. The T-shirts go on sale to the public at the Center’s annual Family Fun Fest, June 6 from Noon to 4 p.m.
