Winners, finalists from Great Lakes Bay Region to be honored on HSC social media
HEMLOCK, Mich. ― Depictions of “The Beauty of Diversity in My Community” created by area students were recently awarded prizes and will be featured in Hemlock Semiconductor Operations’ (HSC) 2021 calendar as part of the company’s 11th annual Community Calendar Contest.
The winners, who represent eight schools in the Great Lakes Bay Region, also will have their artwork displayed at the Saginaw Anderson Enrichment Center for three weeks, from Oct. 12 to Oct. 30.
Rowan Meddaugh of the Saginaw Arts and Science Academy won the grand prize and Hemlock High School won the Best of the Best Award, which came with a $1,000 check to help support the high school’s arts and sciences program. A photo of the artwork created by Rowan that will grace the calendar cover is available here.
Winning students from school districts in Saginaw, Bay and Midland school districts submitted original artwork depicting the beauty of diversity in culture, race, ability/disability, religion, gender, workplaces and skill sets.
“Students who participated in our 11th annual Community Calendar Contest did an incredible job expressing the many ways diversity exists in our communities, making us stronger,” said Brooke Beebe, HSC vice president of external affairs. “Both at HSC and throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region, we celebrate the way diversity makes us a better company, a better community and a better state.”
Winners this year attend the Saginaw Arts and Science Academy, Breckenridge High School, Freeland High School, Hemlock High School, Merrill High School, Nouvel Catholic Central High School, St. Charles High School and Valley Lutheran High School. HSC will celebrate the students and their wonderful work through HSC’s social media accounts since the COVID-19 pandemic has ruled out an in-person event.
All 21 winners and finalists were awarded Barnes & Noble gift cards and given a copy of the calendar in advance. Winners also received a framed photo of their artwork, which will be featured in the calendar. Finalists will receive honorable mentions for their hard work.
