KSPB Hosts "Soybean Production in Kentucky" Art Contest
 The Kentucky Soybean Board is excited to host the "Soybean production in Kentucky" art contest. This was the
fifth and final year for the contest and
was established in order to allow art teachers and students a hands-on experience with Prang soybean crayons.
With Prang soybean crayons, the colors of Kentucky's farms and seasons can come to life in students' artwork. Because soybean crayons are smoother and brighter than traditional wax crayons, they are a versatile medium for artists. This contest
gave students an opportunity to not only explore a different medium, but to win cash prizes for their efforts.
Students throughout the Commonwealth have diligently worked on their masterpieces of Kentucky soybean production, implements, soybean fields, plants, new uses of soybeans, activity or scene from a Kentucky soybean farm. Over 2,000 classes participated this year and thousands of entries were received, making judging difficult.
Artwork was accepted from four age categories of students. Once all of the entries were gathered, a panel of professional artists proceeded with the judging. A special thanks goes to Bill Granstaff and
Roger Lisanby for taking on the hard task of choosing this year's winners. First, second, and third place entries from each category will soon be compiled to create the
2009 "Soybean Production in Kentucky" Calendar.
