EXCEL AWARDS STATE FINALS WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Eighty-nine Indiana high school state finalists showcased their talents in the state finals of the Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance eXceL Awards competition at the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center on the University of Indianapolis campus.
Risk was the topic for the 2006-2007 competition. Students entered their creative interpretation of Risk in one of six categories: writing, music, two-dimensional art, three-dimensional art, video, and performance.
“The eXceL awards give us the opportunity to spotlight all that is good about our next generation. We’re very proud of these high school students, their parents, and the educators who are giving their careers to enrich young lives,” said Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance VP of Marketing, Patty Poehler.
