so a couple months ago when i was still at inglemoor highschool, me and a few class mates decided to try a "contest" hosted by the woodinville garden club. the email for entries came late compared to the time they wanted the entries delivered, less than a week after we started was when they wanted us to give them our art, the winner was supposed to get $100 and their art would become the new poster for the garden club. months later we still have not heard back from them and now I and another of my classmates are now graduated or in eva's case back in their home country. turns out it (this is what we think not what we know) was a fake represenative who took our art and basically stole it from us, now why they would want to do that to highschool students is beyond me, and we are not entirly sure if it was a fake represenative but we have contacted the garden club and so far they have not told us nothing. I need to talk to my former art teachers from highschool to see if we should persue the matter further. I only want my painting back, i want it for my portfolio so i can use it at school and it makes me sad to think that my classmates and friends have also lost their artwork to some jerk! maybe im just blowing this out of portion but its my art work and all artists know your work is very precious to you and to have it taken from you and not returned to you in anyway is painful!
