JACKMAN — Addison Chaisson and Sean Mulhall, both students at Forest Hills High School, are state winners for each of their submissions in the VFW’s annual Patriotic Art Contest.

Maine students were invited by their local VFW/auxiliary to participate in either the two- or three-dimensional category.

The students were recognized as local winners in November, and went on to win at the district level (Jackman is part of District 5, which includes Dexter, Jackman, Fairfield, Farmington, Madison, and Newport).

Both students were successful and advanced to the state level, where both were announced as the winner in their respective categories.

The students’ artwork is being sent to be judged at the national level, and final results will be delivered in July.
