12/03/2007: "Art Contest Decided by the Flip of a Coin"
We should have known better than to have four judges, laughed Brande Bradford when a number of entries were tied for placement in the Community Christian School (CCS) First Annual Art Contest. Brande, her husband Chris, along with Kirk and his wife Terry served as representatives of Bradford Realty Group judging the event. The four judges closely inspected all of the entries, making notes of the ones they felt demonstrated good artistic and creative abilities in the child's individual manifestations of the contest themes Since this was a contest to judge the efforts of the children, entries which clearly exceeded the abilities of the age group were excluded from consideration. At the end of the judging they compared notes. In the three occasions where their were ties, placement was decided by the flip of a coin. The older winners gleamed with pride and the younger winners bounced with excitement as they received their awards. Each first, second and third place winner in the three categories received a trophy for their outstanding effort. One second grade third place winner exclaimed "I have been in school three years, and this is the first time I have won anything!" The names of the winners are being withheld for privacy reasons. "I was surprised by the amount of talent exhibited by these children and the effort each one of them put into their renderings. Every entry deserved a First Place trophy. These kid's parents have a lot to be proud of." said Brande upon awarding the trophies. Kirk Bradford Reviewing Entries Entries were displayed on the 2nd floor of the atrium at Community Bible Church. CCS and Bradford Realty Group hopes the community will join with them in acknowledging the efforts of these fine students.

The art contest, sponsored by Bradford Realty Group, was established to encourage students to develop their artistic abilities and utilize creative thinking processes as well as highlight the efforts of CCS in promoting the arts and the artistic development of their students.
