2013-14 Screen Savers

Maine Student Artwork

“Playing”, by Jo-Hanna Drayton of Skowhegan Middle School, grade 8

Twenty student artists will have an audience of more than 72,000 students and teachers for their artwork starting this fall. The 20 students from across Maine have won the honor to have their artwork displayed on the Maine Learning Technology Initiative devices for the 2013-14 school year.

More than 290 Maine students submitted images to be considered. Students and teachers voted on their favorites, and two of the 20-featured works were the top vote getters. An independent panel of three judges selected the other 18 pieces.

The challenge is an annual affair that has attracted entries from more than 1,200 students during its five-year history. The winning students will receive free registration to attend the 2013 MLTI Student Conference on May 16, 2013 at the University of Maine in Orono.

The selected students are listed below. Their artwork is available for viewing at http://www.maine.gov/mlti/about/photos.shtml and also on this blog by clicking here and on the front page, bottom right, 2013-14 MLTI Screen Saver Pictures.
