With a record number of entries for this year’s art competition, the winning group showcased their immense creativity, crafting submissions that blew away the selection committee.
The five winners— Christian Anderson, Ilhana Davis, Bryn Hergert, Felix Mendez, and Jorge Whitaker— stood out among the competition for their deeply thoughtful submissions that seamlessly folded into this year’s contest prompt: highlighting Black history and the growth of Black culture in the arts through time.
For years, the Mavericks have been inviting North Texas students in grades 8 – 12 to submit artwork as part of the team’s Black History Month initiatives.
