Shown below from Aberdeen are the students whose paintings have been selected
as the first and second place entries there. Terry Morton, from Lossiemouth High school, was the
winner and Alice Nam, from Westhill Academy, was runner-up. Following the next level of judging in
Houston, Terry's painting advanced to the national competition and he became the
first Aberdeen student ever to place in the top ten entries. He was honored at
our Silver Jubilee Formal Dinner at the Copthorne Hotel in Aberdeen in September, 2004 and you can click
on his photo to see him there.
Previous Years' Winners
2003 theme "Reach for a Hand ... Touch a Heart"
The annual artist competition has again been a success for the school adopted
by the Houston Grampian Association. Sidney Ann Brown, the art teacher of Taylor High School and
for HGA members, perhaps better known as the daughter of Tom Erwin has managed again to inspire
her students in Taylor High School in such a way that one of them won second prize and three
others received honorable mention. We congratulate Purvi Patel, Tam Dwan and Johathan Nguyen with
their honorable mentions, and Nathan Chantra with the second prize.
All of this year's winners were invited to the Houston City Hall where Mayor
Brown presented Nathan Chantra with a $100 check for his second place entry, and $50
checks to Purvi Patel, Tam Dwan and Jonathan Nguyen for their honorable mentions.
Nathan is shown above with his art work, and shown below is a photo of
