Annalise Theisen of Kenai, a seventh grader, earned top honors and prizes for her poster design. The poster project was made possible in part by a grant from the Alaska Division of Agriculture's Alaska Grown program.

Other winners:
Adult: Joe Larios of Anchorage earned a first-place finish with his oil painting showing both traditional gathering and row-crop agriculture. Second-place was Andy Hehnlin’s work of a vintage wooden wagon.

K-6: Winners were led by a brother and sister from Palmer with their watercolor farm scenes. Tobin Sworts, grade 4, finished first in the K-6 category while his sister, sixth-grader Kirsten Sworts, finished second. Ten-year-old Danni Dague of Eagle River had the third place poster, with honorable mentions to John Boatright, 9, of Nikiski and Katelin Christensen, a fifth grader from Soldotna.

Mat-Su Chapter of the Alaska Farm Bureau donated Alaska Grown sweatshirts or T-shirts as additional prizes to the top finishes.

Posters were judged on their artistry and connection to Alaska agriculture. Judges for the event were artist Shane Lamb of Shane Lamb Studios in Palmer, artist/gardener Brooke Hempinstall of WoolWood Studio & Gardens, Paula Giaque of Palmer Produce, and Division of Agriculture Director Larry DeVilbiss and development specialist Doug Warner.
