"Creativity takes courage." -Henri Matisse

As part of the Urban Family arts-themed issue, we made an open call for student artwork submissions from the Shanghai international school community for a judged competition. We were overwhelmed by the response. We received 110 works from seven different schools and the work was impressive. 

Monika Lin, creator of Colorbox Arts, was our judge, and after much observation and deliberation chose these works as the "Best in Show." Thank you to Monika Lin and all of the students and schools who participated.
