The ISAA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the winners of the ISAA’s first art contest. We are grateful to everyone who participated and will leave all the wonderful pieces posted so they can continue to be enjoyed by all. We thought that every piece was absolutely amazing and many of you commented that it was very difficult to choose just one. We agree! So, each person who submitted a piece of art for the contest will receive a Certificate of Participation and a packet of ISAA special edition note cards featuring the winning pieces. These note cards will be available for purchase very soon and all proceeds will go to the ISAA. Our Grand Prize winners will receive the certificate, note cards and another piece of art, one of Jeff Pease’s handmade wood leash holders.
