• Entries will be judged by internationally acclaimed artist John Ruthven, who has received recognition and many awards for his mastery of wildlife art. Ruthven has often been called the "20th Century Audubon" because of his impeccably accurate wildlife art. He uses the same techniques as his predecessor, thoroughly studying and researching his subjects, sketching to rigid specifications, and then painstakingly rendering original paintings with beautiful detail. Because of his community service record, business and civic accomplishments, and concern for others, Ruthven has also been named a "Great Living Cincinnatian."
