Last year's pioneering entries in this catagory from Northcoast students paved the way for creation of this year's "demonstration" catagory. We believe that this year's outstanding entries from our Northcoast students will be the incentive for full recognition of this catagory at the state and national levels next year. Once again, congratulations to all who participated!
