Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) Graphic Commercial Art and Digital Design programs had 16 works of art selected as Ohio Governor's Youth Art Exhibit Semi-Finalists from hundreds of entries on March 1, at Stivers School for the Arts (Southwest Regional judging location). These 16 art selections will now advance to Columbus where state judging takes place on March 8.

Judges for this level of competition are chosen from all over the country and are generally professional artists, college level instructors, or both. From the 12,000 regional entries from the 15 regions, approximately 2,500 are selected to enter the state judging. State jurors then select 300 for the actual exhibition, with 25 of the 300 chosen to receive the Governor's Award of Excellence.
