The contest, open to K-12 students across Osceola County, served as a platform for young artists to showcase their understanding and perspectives on severe weather preparedness through art. Participants were tasked with creating artworks that illustrated preparedness measures for various severe weather categories, ranging from hurricanes to floods.
Alejandra’s winning artwork, entitled “Who Was In There?”, features a powerful depiction of a flooding scene. Through her art, she challenges viewers to reflect on the importance of being prepared in the face of weather-related challenges. The piece stands out for its emotional depth and the compelling message it conveys, emphasizing the critical need for awareness and readiness amidst natural disasters.
This year’s Severe Weather Awareness Art Contest not only highlighted the creative talents of Osceola County’s youth but also underscored the importance of community engagement in promoting safety and preparedness. Congratulations to Alejandra on her well-deserved win, and to all the participants who contributed their art to this vital cause.
