I won Gold!

So for those who don't know, back in November my manufacturing program instructor urged me to compete in a design contest for SkillsUSA Idaho. SkillsUSA is this:

The design contest was to design a pin, t-shirt, and banner and my instructor just let me know yesterday that I won 2 golds and a silver!! Yay!!! A gold for my t-shirt design, a gold for my banner design, and a silver for the pin design. We thought at first that winning this state competition would allow me to compete at nationals for the same event, but that might not be the case. It seems that anyone can enter the national design contest regardless of winning any state competitions. And when we looked up some info about the national competition we found that the deadline for design entries is February 1 . . . . so that means I have less than a week to create something and turn it in via snail mail only!!! So really good news mixed with annoying news then! This category of competition is something that my instructor wasn't really aware of so that is why we're finding all of this out now. So I will give it a shot and see what I can conjure up! Here are the t-shirt and banner designs that won me a gold :)
