Courtney took first place at Mountain Ridge JR high art show. She won in Photography. She was given $100 gift card to Allen's Camera.
She also gets to be in the Alpine School District JR High art show. Her photo was on display at the SCERA Center for the arts. The exhibition ran March 20-31.
This is the Second time Courtney has entered a photo in a contest and won. In sixth grade she made to to district with a photo of her favorite place. Her Photography teacher has enjoyed teaching her and talked her into using the photo she won with.
When asked about her inspiration she said "I was asleep and woke up at 130 am and realised i had an assignment due the next day. So I went down to the fridge and got an apple. I took it up and Marissa was asleep so i set it on my nightstand. The lighting was bad so I put my lamp by it. She noticed the crumbs but thought they would make a nice contrast to the apple." She calls it inspiration, I call it desperation, but what ever works.
Courtney and Grandma went to Allen"s cameras with her $100 gift card. Courtney picked out a nice 10mp camera and for her birthday Grandma paid the difference so she got a new camera now I can have mine back.
