University of Cincinnati student Alex Macon won second place for his digital photography and multimedia work.
“...His [work] is very timely," said Summerfair Cincinnati Executive Director Jayne Utter. "His painting draws you in because he is looking right at you."
Macon is an interdisciplinary fine arts student at UC's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning.
“The artist’s use of subject matter, color choices and gentle humor crept up on me and quietly demanded that I look at the world from a new perspective,” one juror wrote.
Two other UC students, David Unthank and Margeaux Lim, are among the 20 finalists.
The news was covered by Fox 19, Cincinnati Business Courier and CityBeat.

UC team lands first place in first Ethics Bowl competition
March 4, 2021
It was a true Cinderella story. Competing for the first time in the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl, the University of Cincinnati beat out 36 other teams to win the 25th annual APPE competition. UC bested teams from Stanford University, Northwestern University and West Point, among others. “Shock, delight and pride,” Daniel Mattox, team coach and graduate instructor in philosophy, described his reaction. “It was unexpected that we kept winning, but I was delighted by the team’s efforts. They are so utterly brilliant and hard-working, and I’m so proud of everything they accomplished.” Organized by the UC College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Philosophy, the team qualified for the national competition in the Central State regionals last November. Participants on the UC team included Emma Duhamel, Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies major; Dom Duponty, Philosophy and Chemistry major; and Caitlin Powell, Philosophy and Spanish major.
