OF BLE Winners of the contest were selected from three genres (musical composition, visual art and writing), with numerous A T subcategories for visual art and writing. For the visual art genre, the judging was updated this year to reflect current practices in | Honorary Entries by Judges art competitions. Typically, there is only one First Place winner or “Best in Show” in an art contest, along with one Second Place and one Third Place winner. Thus, all of the subcategories are judged together. For example, photography is in competition with painting and drawing, etc. By adopting that same practice, WFAM 2008 has one First Place, one Second Place, and one Third Prof. Timothy R. Bowlby Two Limericks poetry 63 Place winner along with numerous Honorable Mention awards.

Sharon Houk Te´llez Mayflies poetry 64 The musical composition and writing winners were awarded prizes based upon the possibility of First, Second, Third Place and Honorable Mention. Most importantly, the judges for music, visual art and writing had discretion to eliminate an award if they selected to do so. Many thanks to the judges in all the genres whose keen eyes, expertise and devotion to WFAM 2008 made the production of the magazine such a success! A special thanks to the President of Lewis University, Br. James Gaffney, FSC, and the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Angela Durante. It is because of them that Lewis University continues to recognize and honor the creative talents and visions of those within the Lewis community. Without their support, a magazine that displays diversity, contemporary thinking and technology, association within the community and among the genres, and the sharing of knowledge and talents would not be a part of Lewis. In reiteration, congratulations to all the winners in WFAM 2008! You have pursued your dreams of becoming published artists, and your accomplishments are a source of inspiration and growth for all—in print and beyond . ASST. PROF.
