The Heron’s Nest (Home)

This year’s illustration contest drew nearly three hundred entries. Thank you for making our selection process so difficult! Congratulations to those whose work has been selected and our deep appreciation for everyone who has offered their work. As always, it was with a mixture of gratitude and regret that we enjoyed but ultimately had to relinquish the opportunity to use so many truly beautiful images. We hope that those of you who have not been rewarded with a selection this year will not be discouraged and that we will have the opportunity of seeing more of your work later this year.
