Congratulations to the VSVA Winner of the 2024 K12 Photography Competition

The 2024 K12 Photography Competition boasted more than 12,000 entries from talented students nationwide. Among those were 59 submissions from students at Volunteer State Virtual Academy.

This annual competition celebrates the artistic skills of kindergarten through 12th grade students and provides a platform for them to showcase their unique perspectives through the camera lens.

A total of $20,000 in cash prizes were awarded to this year’s winners! In each grade level, the 1st place winner received $1,000, the 2nd place winner took home $500, and the People’s Choice winner—selected through public voting—earned $100.

We’re incredibly proud of every student who participated, whether as a first-time competitor or a seasoned photographer. Even more exciting, we’re thrilled to announce that one of our very own students from Volunteer State Virtual Academy earned a top spot in this year’s competition!

Join us in congratulating this exceptional young photographer:

Azriel
People’s Choice Winner, 4th Grade
“I found a caterpillar resting on the ground. He probably sleeps for a while after his long journey crawling; I think he is smiling back to me.”

We couldn’t be prouder of Azriel for his incredible achievements in this year’s competition. His unique vision and dedication truly shined in his photography, and we can’t wait to see how he continues to evolve and flourish as an artist.

Volunteer State Virtual Academy is committed to providing opportunities for our students to explore their talents and passions. The success of our participants in the K12 Photography Competition is a true testament to that. We can’t wait to see even more inspiring entries in future competitions!
