The judges of the inaugural competition were Danielle Winger of La Fontaine, Indiana, and Madiha Siraj of Indianapolis. Winger is a successful studio artist whose work has been featured in galleries worldwide, including Tokyo, Berlin, and Paris. She teaches children’s art classes at Honeywell Arts & Entertainment, where she uses her love of creativity and the outdoors to inspire young artists.

In her Shattered Tessellations and 99 Names for the One series, Siraj examines identity through cultural motifs as a first-generation Pakistani American.
