2017 Teen Talent Contest Winners Announced
Dozens win prizes for drawing, photographing, performing and designing.

EDMOND—A total of 19 Philadelphia Church of God youths won awards for the 2017 Teen Talent Contest on July 23. The work of finalists in the art, graphic art, photography and writing categories was displayed in the Armstrong Auditorium lobby on the three weekends during the Philadelphia Youth Camp session. Due to camper absences for a national Irish dance competition, the performing arts finals were spread across several evenings. On the youth camp awards night, winners were announced through a special video and then received their awards and cash prizes for their creative work.

The 2018 Teen Talent Contest is now underway.
