The Delta Cultural Center held a ceremony recently at the Depot Museum to honor the winners and entries for our 2023 Youth Blues Poster Contest. We would like to thank all schools, instructors, and students who participated this year. There were 125 pieces of art entered into the contest, and it was a very difficult job for our judges to pick winners, but these were the top finishers in each category. Unfortunately, there were no entries for the k-5 category.
