First and foremost ~ Thank you to the Virgin Valley Artists Association for providing the beautiful venue (Mesquite Fine Arts Center) for the entries to be displayed and voted on!
Big thanks to our Founder, Jean Watkins, who put this whole thing together, made very easy-to-follow forms and voting procedures, got the cats all where they needed to be, and saw it through to the end.
This is truly a wonderful contest that everyone can join in.

Thanks to all the artists who submitted their beautiful Saxon the Suffrage Cat entries and thank you to all who donated their entries for “adoption.” Donations for these cats will go toward new cat cut-outs for next year’s contest.
Start thinking of what YOUR entry will look like next year!
