SARASOTA COUNTY,  Fla. (SNN) — In an annual tradition dating back to 1999, Neal communities hosted its 22nd “My Favorite Home” holiday art competition with Emma T. Booker Elementary students on Tuesday.

Students had the opportunity to express their vision of the perfect home through various styles of art.

Booker Teachers, Neal representatives, Neal Signature Homes, as well as founder Pat Neal and members of the School board all attended the event as judges and selected two pieces of art as winners.

The chosen pieces will take center stage on the holiday cards distributed by Neal Communities and Neal Signature Homes this year.

A check of $1,500 was donated from Neal to Booker Elementary to go directly back into the art program.
