Hundreds of student artists vied for just nine awards in the 2022 Apple Art contest at the Elyria Apple Festival.
And one of the nine recipients also earned the title of, "Best of Show," recognized as the judges' overall top honor.
Harmonie Kron, a student at Elyria High School, earned this year's Best of Show award.
Harmonie's finished piece experiments with a variety of art mediums.
It showcases a large apple that's centered on the page with a halo of rich purple and pink tones behind it.
The art piece gives the illusion of a human eye, with a shaded red apple as its center, and as its pupil: a drawing of Earth wearing a heart.
Members of the Elyria Arts Council served as judges for the Apple Art competition.
Congratulations, Harmonie, and kudos to all students who participated in the event.
