Competing against a multitude of talented young artists and writers from PreK and 1st grade, Jonae's creativity and hard work distinguished her among the best.

Destination Ag organized the contest to inspire creativity and an appreciation for the agricultural industry. The contest provided a platform for students to express their understanding and appreciation of agriculture through art and writing.
