By submitting a nomination you are sharing that individual's accomplishments and ideas with hundreds of other art teachers across the state. Once a person has won a WAEA award they are eligible to apply for NAEA regional or national awards if they so choose. State, regional or national recognition often leads to extra support for art programs locally.
