Congratulations to the Office of Indian Education's (OIE) 2010 Native American Student Artist Competition (SAC) winners! The theme of the 2010 SAC is Bringing Honor Through Education. Interpreting this theme through art and writing, entries reflect the promise and importance of pursuing an education for Native youth. For a complete list of the 2010 SAC winners, please visit O’ai’ee’s Activity Center.

The SAC is an annual event that celebrates the values and documents the successes of education in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The competition was open to all American Indian and Alaska Native students in Grades Pre-K through 12.

A total of 816 students from 33 states submitted works in a variety of media. Submissions were judged in six different grade categories. Prizes were awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each grade category for both art and writing, and a certificate of participation was sent to each student.
