Mady Ufheil won the competition with her papier-mâché strawberry.
Mady Ufheil, a 10th grade student at Father Lopez Catholic High School, recently won the Signature Award for Best in Show at the 52nd-annual Halifax Art Festival's Student Exhibit and Competition. Her papier-mâché strawberry won her the $400 prize.
The student competition was originally started in 1999 by Ormond Beach Artist Donna Jordan. It has continued to be held with an average of 1,000 works exhibited each year.
Art students of all ages from the Volusia County School System were invited to display their work and 21 students were five cash awards. The awards were the donation of The Wessel Foundation, established by Dr. Helen Wessel.
