2014 Art Ed Blog of the Year – Results Announced!

Two weeks ago we announced the 4th Annual Art Ed Blog of the Year Contest. We changed things up a bit with the introduction of 4 new categories: Best Elementary Art Ed Blog, Best Secondary Art Ed Blog, Best Rising Star Art Ed Blog and Best Wild Card Art Ed Blog. The nominations came pouring in, and a week ago we announced the finalists in each category. Voting closed on Friday, January 23rd at 5pm CST.

Today, we are excited to announce the winners in each category as voted on by YOU, our fantastic AOE readers. We’d like to give a huge congratulations to all of our winners and finalists! We are so grateful to have so many talented individuals creating amazing Art Ed resources.
