They, their families, teachers, and friends are invited to a special recognition ceremony at Missouri Baptist University where they will receive a certificate of Achievement.
Thirty Leaders of Tomorrow are selected to receive Medallions and $25. These students are interviewed, and from the thirty, ten are honored as Leaders of the Year and will receive a $1,000 US Savings Bond. The Leaders of the Year will also be nominated for national recognition.

Photography Session Information:
1. You will need to set up two appointments: the first to have your child’s photographs taken, and the second to come back and view the photographs. The studio is generally open Monday through Saturday, however please call for specific hours and to set your appointments.
2. For their photography session, have them bring three different outfits (please arrive 10 minutes early and dressed in the first outfit) along with shoes, accessories, etc. for each outfit. Their outfits can be whatever they choose—generally, students wear casual outfits, formal outfits, and/or sports uniforms, but there are no rules and we encourage them to express their personality and interests.
3. Encourage your child to bring props such as sports equipment, books, artwork, musical instruments, etc… they can even bring a pet! If you choose to bring a pet, consider your pet’s temperament and make sure it’s on a leash.
4. At the time you book your photography session, we will confirm your email address and send you guidelines for your student to write their own biographical sketch, which will go on their display panel, along with four images of their choice. (If you do not receive the biographical sketch guidelines, please check your spam filter, if you don’t have it please let us know.) We MUST receive their sketch via email to studio@warwickphotography.com prior to their photography session. We do not proof their biographical sketch and are not responsible for any typos, misspellings, or other errors, and we can only accept these via email. The biographical sketch is separate from the resume that they submitted with their nomination form.
5. Each student will select four images, and email us their biographical sketch, to go on a 16x20 display panel that will be displayed at the St. Louis Galleria Mall. At the time you return to select images for your panel, you have the option of purchasing their display panel and/or additional pictures (many students take advantage of this free session to select their senior pictures.)
