Fantastic Five: Zibbet Art Challenge for Kids Winners
Back in December 2011 Zibbet ran an Art Challenge open to any child as long as the item was listed for sale in a Zibbet shop. There were sixteen entries. The judges are volunteer Zibbeters who used an official scoring card created by Eleanor, a professional artist with experience as an art juror. She lives in the famous art neighborhood of Greenwich Village, in New York City. I feel everyone was a winner because the scores were very close. There was a tie for the age 10-12 category. After reading about the 5 top winners, you can see all the entries on Pinterest … and you better be quick, because I am sure they are going to sell fast! Remember the first piece of your work you ever sold? Encourage these kids by purchasing their creations. You can find all the entries on Pinterest HERE, where they link to the listings on Zibbet. Have fun shopping!!

All great creations. Very talented young ones, and I just might have to get those buttons, loved them from the first I saw them!
Fun competition, what’s the next one Ms. Judy?
What a talented generation we have to look forward to! They are all winners!
I agree .. what wonderful talent we have in our younger generation! Fantastic!
Congratulations to all the winners! I was one of the judges and have to say it was a close call for all of them. Each entry was a unique and wonderful creation and they all deserve to be called winners!
Hats off to these talented children! Such creativity and workmanship - it would have been a difficult competition to judge! And agree with Raige - when is the next competition?
How awesome are these young artists! So lovely to see.
Super idea Judy! I’ll have to get my Sophie involved
in the next one, lol. She loves to do crafts.
As a judge I was unprepared for the VERY difficult decision. As Judy said, they are all winners in my book! And the best part is seeing young ones exploring their creativity! Bravo!♥
This was a lot of fun! Congrats to everyone in this challenge, I bet it was difficult being a judge for this contest. I hope there will be another one in the near future… it will be great to see the children’s creativity grow as they explore even more.
For those who are asking for another Kid Challenge I was thinking during summer vacation would be the best time. Feel free to email me any ideas you have and the best time to do it.
Congratulations to all the kids. Thanks for participating.
What a wonderful challenge and such a joy to see all of the talent :=) Congrats to all who entered
Great job, and thanks for taking part, kids (and judges)! My grandchildren had a great time participating, and it was a wonderful idea!
This is great! Such talented young people. It is great that they were able to showcase their talent.
Thanks so much for hosting the challenge. My son was so excited that his dinosaur picture won!
I felt honored to be asked to be a judge, and had a very hard time casting my votes. I think EVERY submission was very special! I hope we do it again!
