Following the end of the contest, there will be a week-long rest period, where the Dayton VA will select the finalists of the contest. Then, a finals round – featuring on-site voting on finalists – will be on Dayton.com from 8 a.m. October 10 through 11:59 p.m. October 21, 2016.

The winner’s work will be displayed at the Northwest Branch of the Dayton Metro Library.
