Winner 2011
GRAND PRIZE WINNER! - MUSICIAN/GUITARIST
“I started playing the guitar at a young age, and ever since I’ve started playing, I’ve been inspired by many guitarists from many time periods. My dream is to inspire future guitarists the way these guitarists have inspired me.”

 Winner 2010
GRAND PRIZE WINNER!
ARCHAEOLOGIST
My dream job is to become an Archaeologist. Archaeology seems like a challenging job that requires fascination with the past and study of the life-ways of ancient people. It`s funny to say but Indiana Jones actually inspired me to want to become an archaeologist. Seeing him go on all these exciting adventures all over the world, and not to mention discovering the past. The goal is not to discover artifacts the goal is to find pieces of a puzzle that proves a new theory about history.

GRAND PRIZE WINNER!
MANGA ARTIST
I want to grow up to be a Manga artist! (Note: Manga is the Japanese word for comics.) I lost my hearing when I was 3 years old and drawing has always been a good way for me to communicate. But now it is my best talent! I practice drawing every day and I dream about making people enjoy and laugh when they read my comics.
