Congratulations to the AZVA Winners of the 2024 K12 Photography Competition 

The 2024 K12 Photography Competition boasted more than 12,000 entries from talented students nationwide. Among those were 227 submissions from students at Arizona Virtual Academy.

This annual competition celebrates the artistic skills of kindergarten through 12th grade students and provides a platform for them to showcase their unique perspectives through the camera lens.

A total of $20,000 in cash prizes were awarded to this year’s winners! In each grade level, the 1st place winner received $1,000, the 2nd place winner took home $500, and the People’s Choice winner—selected through public voting—earned $100.

We’re incredibly proud of every student who participated, whether as a first-time competitor or a seasoned photographer. Even more exciting, we are thrilled to announce that two of our students from Arizona Virtual Academy were among the winners!

Join us in congratulating these exceptional young photographers:

Meet the Winners

Leilani

People’s Choice Winner, 2nd Grade

“Here is a photo of a honeybee enjoying a freshly watered flower in my yard.”

Brooklyn

2nd Place, 4th Grade

“This was a superstar butterfly. She let me take so many pictures of her and didn’t mind at all. She posed with her amazing and colorful wings like a true model! She reminds me that life is good, and we should appreciate it!!”

We couldn’t be prouder of Leilani and Brooklyn for their incredible achievements in this year’s competition. Their unique vision and dedication truly shined in their photography, and we can’t wait to see how they continue to evolve and flourish as artists.

Arizona Virtual Academy is committed to providing opportunities for our students to explore their talents and passions. The success of our participants in the K12 Photography Competition is a true testament to that. We can’t wait to see even more inspiring entries in future competitions!
