Northwestern students, faculty, staff and alumni entered their photos, drawings, paintings and other artistic creations in the annual Northwestern Art Society Art Show, which was on display in the J.W. Martin Library in March.

The winning pieces, marked by blue ribbons, were displayed Friday night at the Runnymeade Hotel in downtown Alva.

The show had more than 300 entries this year, event organizers said.

An oil painting titled “Candle” by Northwestern student Joshua Hinton, a sophomore mass communication major from Alva, earned the People’s Choice Award. It received the most votes from the viewing public. Hinton earned a special ribbon and a $25 cash prize.

This was the show’s 19th year, and event organizers say they’re looking forward to the show’s 20th anniversary next April.
