Blue Ribbon winners receive a $100 gift card, Red Ribbon winners get a $75 gift card, and White Ribbon winners get a $50 gift card. Each teacher of an award-winning student also gets a $100 educational grant. Westlake teacher Kelly Atkinson supported the high school students.

The eXpressions Art Program is an interdisciplinary program that engages high schools with the world of scientific research using art. Students produce their own creative interpretation of research conducted by Cleveland Clinic science interns.

Work from winning students will be featured online and in an annual publication, as well as in the eXpressions eXhibition.
