Four Elmira College students won this year’s “Portraying Mark Twain” art competition, which is sponsored by the Center for Mark Twain Studies. The students’ work was selected from 52 student submissions.

In its ninth year, the Portraying Mark Twain competition challenges EC students to submit works representing Mark Twain, his literature, or aspects of his life in Elmira and Quarry Farm.

"I look forward each year to seeing the creative pieces Elmira College students put together as part of this competition,” said Dr. Joseph Lemak, History Instructor and Director of the Center for Mark Twain Studies. “This is a fun way for EC students to engage with and leave their own mark on the important history of Mark Twain."

The winning entries will be featured in future publications of Elmira College and the Center for Mark Twain Studies.
