MILWAUKEE (7/14/2008) - Children's Hospital of Wisconsin today announced the winners of the "This is MY Children's" artwork contest.
From May 12, through June 13, children ages 3 to 18 were invited to submit artwork and stories describing what their children's hospital looked like. The contest is part of a grass roots marketing campaign designed to celebrate the hospital's west tower expansion, which will open in spring 2009.
"Children's Hospital received nearly 800 pieces of art from children in Wisconsin and Illinois," said Jon Vice, president and CEO of Children's Hospital. "This incredible response demonstrates our community's commitment to and support for Wisconsin's largest pediatric health care institution."
Winners were chosen by a panel of judges including Children's Hospital staff members, community artists, parents and Children's Hospital patients. Winners include:
- Jacob Schmidt, 5, Slinger, Wis., from the 3-6 age group.
- Taylor Moskol, 9, Bayside, Wis., from the 7-10 age group.
- Robin Bain, 11, Kaukauna, Wis., from the 11-14 age group.
- Siara Berry, 16, Germantown, Wis., from the 15-18 age group.
Each winner will receive a weekend stay for four in Wisconsin Dells. Winning artwork entries can be viewed at www.thisismychildrens.org. Additional art work entries are added to the site weekly.
The winners' artwork may be used in many different ways including:
- On the walls of Children's Hospital.
- In a Children's Hospital commemorative book.
- As part of a traveling art exhibit.
- At a grand opening event for the new Children's Hospital west tower.
