Courtney Lang, a senior at Lapeer East, won first prize for her hand-drawn poster and received a gift basket containing art supplies, gift cards, movies and popcorn.
Other winners were senior Victoria Mullins, 2nd place, junior Erica Soroka, 3rd place, and senior Amelia Meerschaert, honorable mention. They also received art supplies from Coventry Realty.
Lapeer East art teacher Debbie Helbig, submitted artwork by 14 high school students in late October for the second annual drawing contest.
The art was on display at Coventry Realty on Halloween night during its annual Spooktacular Open House event. A total of 70 guests voted for their favorite poster to decide the winners.
The theme of the drawing contest this year was “Halloween Horse,” for which the students had to draw horses in Halloween costumes or with autumn themes. The horse-themed contest was designed to promote both the Village of Metamora, the heart of Hunt in Michigan’s Horse Country, and gave local art students an opportunity to exhibit their work with community recognition.
