 2018 CREATE 4 FREEDOM℠ CONTEST

THE MILL, in association with 4 Freedoms Festival, LLC, presents the CREATE 4 FREEDOM℠ contest, which challenges today’s high school students to examine the meaning of freedom in 2018.

 
 

2018 WINNERS

Upon reviewing contest entries, Joshua Sherman, M.D. (President of THE MILL and Founder of the 4 FREEDOMS FESTIVAL℠) reflected, “No freedom ranks above the other, but it is both fascinating and disturbing that 77 years after F.D.R.’s State of the Union Address, the majority of our young poets and artists instinctively responded to Freedom from Fear.”


CONTEST WINNERS & PRIZES:
The Winner of the 2018 CREATE 4 FREEDOM℠ Art contest is 17 year old Larissa Weber from Anderson, Indiana.
