Disney Sisters: D23 Expo Design Challenge Finalists and Winner

D23 Expo Design Challenge Finalists and Winner

Did you know that this year's D23 Expo had a special contest encouraging artists and creatives alike. If you can dream it, you can do it. And if you can bring that vision to life, you could may have entered the D23 Expo Design Challenge. To celebrate Disneyland's 60th, this year's theme was to create art using the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle as inspiration in honor of Disneyland's Diamond Anniversary Celebration. Sketches of the entries were due in April 2015, and out of all the artwork only 23 designs were chosen as finalists. How the appointed Disney judges were able to choose one winner is beyond us, they are all so special and unique. We attended the Expo and loved seeing these imaginative displays of artwork on different mediums from Disney fans both young and young at heart! So many talented people worked very hard on their project that was obvious. It was incredible to see the beauty in the details up close and in person.
