YEARBOOK COVER CONTEST!

Over the years, the covers of CJCA's annual Yearbook publication have evolved from clip art to stock photographs to actual photographs of youths in correctional care. As part of CJCA's ongoing efforts to highlight successes and positive practices in the juvenile corrections field, CJCA organized a national cover art contest for the 2010 Yearbook to encourage and recognize arts programming and artists in correctional facilities.

The contest was open to all youths committed to state juvenile corrections agencies, and CJCA received 74 entries from 17 facilities in 11 states. Entries were narrowed down to eight semi-finalists then to four finalists. The Executive Board voted and a winner was selected based on originality, quality of presentation and representation of the contest theme, "For a safer tomorrow, invest in our youths today." The winner will be announced at CJCA's Summer Business Meeting on July 31, 2010.
