Grand Prize Winner - Lucza Brewer

“Winning this award means so much to me and I feel an immense amount of support from my community here in Draper. I have always felt that art has an unmatched power to communicate emotions in a way that words may not be able to. This is a crazy time for people everywhere in the world, especially youth, so for me to be able to share my voice with my photography is an honor. I am really grateful for the photography program at the Waterford School that has supported my growth as an artist through high school and I am beyond excited to continue my studies in the art department at UCLA!”
