Congratulations to the ARVA Winner of the 2024 K12 Photography Competition 

The 2024 K12 Photography Competition boasted more than 12,000 entries from talented students nationwide. Among those were 262 submissions from students at Arkansas Virtual Academy.

This annual competition celebrates the artistic skills of kindergarten through 12th grade students and provides a platform for them to showcase their unique perspectives through the camera lens.

A total of $20,000 in cash prizes were awarded to this year’s winners! In each grade level, the 1st place winner received $1,000, the 2nd place winner took home $500, and the People’s Choice winner—selected through public voting—earned $100.

We’re incredibly proud of every student who participated, whether as a first-time competitor or a seasoned photographer. Even more exciting, we are thrilled to announce that one of our students from Arkansas Virtual Academy was among the winners!

Join us in congratulating this exceptional young photographer:

“My papa’s deer horns, he passed away last year. But they still hang where he put them. Reminds me of the joy and happiness he had taking us hunting.”

We couldn’t be prouder of Serenity for her incredible achievements in this year’s competition. Her unique vision and dedication truly shined in her photography, and we can’t wait to see how she continues to evolve and flourish as an artist.

At Arkansas Virtual Academy, we’re committed to providing opportunities for our students to explore their talents and passions. The success of our participants in the K12 Photography Competition is a true testament to that. We can’t wait to see even more inspiring entries in future competitions!
