In addition to our Best of Show, Diné College Community Choice, and Board of Regent's Choice Awards, one of our Judges for this year's exhibit sponsored two additional awards. Mr. JT Willie sponsored these awards because he was so amazed that our students were able to complete these great pieces of art work through online classes, with no face to face, hands on learning. He wanted to bring additional recognition for our students' hard work, dedication, and resiliency during a global pandemic. Therefore, he named these awards the Resiliency Awards. ​
