Eighth Grader, Emilie Haedt, Wins Art Contest
Emilie Haedt, Grade 8, was one of five Washington students who have been named state champions in a writing, art and film contest sponsored by the Office of Secretary of State’s Legacy Washington program, which produced the “Who Are We?” profile series and exhibit.
The competition asked Washington students in Grades 6-12 to share who they are and who they hope to become. Contestants could submit entries in different formats, including writings, two-dimensional art or film projects. There were two categories, Grades 6-8 and Grades 9-12.

“I congratulate each of the contest champions on this special honor,” said Secretary of State Kim Wyman. “So many of the entries were very compelling and thoughtful. I applaud all of the students who took part.”
The winners are invited to a ceremony in the Office of Secretary of State at the Capitol where they will be presented with a special certificate and gift card by Wyman. Winning pieces also will be posted on the Secretary of State’s website, featured in SOS publications and appear alongside the Who Are We? exhibit.
