Although there will not be a public Awards Ceremony as in years past, the Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Awards is working on an alternate plan to recognize 2020 award winners.

The Ohio Governor's Youth Art Exhibition, now in its 50th year, is dedicated to the educational and artistic advancement of talented young people in the state of Ohio. The exhibition is open to all of Ohio's 1,112 high schools, both public and private, chartered by the State of Ohio Department of Education.

its purpose is to provide all budding young artists of the state with opportunities to advance their talent, whether that be through scholarships or simply experiencing the process of entering artwork in a competition. The exhibition is a valuable incentive for young people; it encourages an appreciation for the arts throughout Ohio and reflects the fine quality of art instruction and talent which exist in our state.
