2022 Chanukah Art Contest Winners

We received 56 submissions to this year’s Chanukah art contest. We were blown away by the colorful, unique interpretations of the holiday. Artists range in age from 4 to 82. In this special section we spotlight the winners and 20 editors’ choice images. All of the submissions will be available to view online. The cover image, “The Rainbow Hannukiah,” was created by 7-year-old Daniel Weinstein. Our Grand Prize winner, Kyle Solomon, is 22-years-old. We had two age groups: adult (15 +) and children (14 and under), with first second and third place winners in each age group. 66-year-old Ruben Haller won first place in the adult category with, “A Beary Happy Chanukah,” and 13-year-old Madeleine Pryor won first place in the child category with her piece, ” Sufganiyot.” Winners will receive gift cards from our contest sponsor, Binders Art Supplies and Frames.

We look forward to seeing and sharing your art again in our next contest in April for Passover!
