A three-person jury made up of renowned experts in the fields of artistic expression and applied design met with each of the students and then selected the most outstanding work.
Digital storytelling majors swept the grand prizes in both the artistic expression and applied design categories.
This year’s grand prize winner in artistic expression category went to Nathan Wright for his video Maybe I Wasn’t There. Wright is from Crete, Illinois.
The grand prize in the applied design category went to Maggie Noble, a senior from St. Charles, Missouri, for her animation titled The Apprehension Engine.
This year’s jury consisted of photographer Michael Eastman, art gallery curator Alanna Heiss and Fashion Institute of Technology instructor Ted Tamanaha.
Eastman, who has spent the last five decades documenting interiors and facades of buildings around the world, delivered the keynote address. A panel presentation featuring all three jurors was also part of the events and each of the jurors attended classes and visited with students and faculty during their time on campus.
