Check out the winners of the "Music" contest!

From Khan Academy Challenge Council Member Allison (tAG54):

For the months of May and June, participants for this month’s contest were prompted to create a webpage or PJS program showing, describing, or representing music in their life. Participants created games, slideshows, graphics, and simulations depicting how music has impacted their lives and the benefits of it, along with showcasing some of their favorite music.

Below you’ll find the ensemble of winners, along with the judge’s comments. Congratulations and thank you to all the winners and participants!
