The Cactus Cookie Design Competition, part of the Georgia O'Keeffe Awards series, ended at 2:30pm on October 17 2011. It was impossible to choose a single entry to crown overall winner . The eight finalists impressed the judges with their unique and creative cactus renditions. I present to you their artwork with a few O'Keeffe quotes to inspire. Congratulations everyone.
