LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. –
Several members of the Youth Program at Langley Air Force Base, Va., recently created and submitted two collages to the Hampton 4-H Virginia Cooperative Extension to be entered into the Hampton Roads, Virginia State, and National Adobe Youth Voices Competition. The collages won the Virginia State award for the "Behind The Scenes" Adobe Youth Voices Collage competition.
In all, seven youth created collages, including Aysia McCoy, Ty Mercer, Jakayla Prince, Lesrael Johnson, Raymond Roscoe Jr., Azyia Bowen and Quinton Lane. They were helped by Tashiba Martin, Hampton 4-H Leader, and Arleen Diggs, Langley AFB's Child & Youth Programs Assistant.
The local competition was at the Hampton Virginia Cooperative Extension, and the submission from Langley's Youth program was chosen for the state competition. State competitions were held May 12, and awards were presented during the Adobe Youth Voices Digital Media Red Carpet Celebration at the Richmond, Va., Science Museum.
Individual participants of the Langley AFB 4-H Club received a Virginia 4-H Youth Voices Trophy, sponsored by Adobe Outstanding Achievement. State winners were submitted for National Competition. Langley AFB's two collage entries will be displayed at Langley AFB's Youth Programs facility.
