PENINSULA COMMITTEE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL SPONSORS
20th ANNUAL POSTER CONTEST

Horse Show Chairman Paige Rice announced the 2009 winners of the 52nd Annual Portugese Bend National Horse Show at the June meeting of the Palos Verdes Peninsula School District Board of Education.

For the past 20 years, local high school students have submitted original artwork with an equestrian theme to the Portuguese Bend National Horse Show Poster Contest. The contest is held to focus on the artistic talent of Peninsula high school students, to aid the art departments of our local high schools and to give publicity to the upcoming Horse Show that raises money to benefit Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. The winning entry is the official Horse Show publicity poster and the cover of the 2009 Horse Show program. It will be displayed at the Palos Verdes Library several weeks before the Show and in the Admissions Booth at the Horse Show September 4, 5 and 6.

Individual award checks were given to the following winners:

Honorable mentions went to Nicole Lim and Rossa Kim from PVPHS, Ryan Jones from PVHS and Saagar Shah, Chadwick High School.

The Poster Contest is sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Davidson, founding members of the Peninsula Committee Childrens Hospital. Aside from individual prize money, a donation was made to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles in Sarah Nam's honor and to Palos Verdes Peninsula High School's Art Department.
