Back in December 2011 Zibbet ran an Art Challenge open to any child as long as the item was listed for sale in a Zibbet shop. There were sixteen entries. The judges are volunteer Zibbeters who used an official scoring card created by Eleanor, a professional artist with experience as an art juror. She lives in the famous art neighborhood of Greenwich Village, in New York City. I feel everyone was a winner because the scores were very close. There was a tie for the age 10-12 category. After reading about the 5 top winners, you can see all the entries on Pinterest … and you better be quick, because I am sure they are going to sell fast! Remember the first piece of your work you ever sold? Encourage these kids by purchasing their creations. You can find all the entries on Pinterest HERE, where they link to the listings on Zibbet. Have fun shopping!!
