The first ever TCAA Emerging Artist Competition was held this January in Mesa, Arizona at the High Noon Western Americana Tradeshow. Eight talented artisans worked for months preparing their silver entries for this prestigious contest.
Luckily, I missed my flight home on Sunday and was able to grab a glimpse of the Silver Entries. Please forgive the glare. The pictures were taken through the glass viewing case but I wanted to be able to share a peek at the contest with you!
Here are the 8 Silver Entries in the Emerging Artist SILVER Contest

The cutest thing ever was Beau Compton's family cheering him on.
Their little boy was so excited to get to wear the trophy buckle that his Dad had made for the contest.
