2021 Chanukah Art Contest Winners

Menorahs and dreidels were the most common images we received from our contributors for this year’s Chanukah art contest. We were blown away not only by the volume of the submissions but also by the colorful, unique interpretations of the holiday and the tender age of many of the artists. Here we spotlight the winners and other artists who submitted their work, ranging in age from 5 to 64. The cover
image, “Window to the Soul,” was drawn by 15-year-old Gabriella Schakett, and our Braves-loving Grand Prize winner, Gavriel Perez, is just 9. We look forward to seeing and sharing your art again next year!

Prizes are provided by Binder’s Art Supplies and Frames.
