Sixth, seventh and eighth graders participated in the ornament design contest in conjunction with Christmas Island Style.

Second place honors went to sixth grader Megan Hine. Simon Banic, a seventh grader, won third.

This year's contest theme was a dolphin.

Honorable mention awards were presented to Stefan Langebeeke, seventh grade; Brendan McDonnell, seventh grade, and Mackenzie Callahan, sixth grade.

First, second and third-place winners will receive a savings bond from Christmas Island Style on stage at the Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 6. The honorable mentions will be recognized on stage.

The students also will be recognized in January at the Christmas Island Style awards ceremony.

Cedar Bay Yacht Club donated its facility for the judging on Tuesday and gave a two-hour boat cruise to the winning students.

All of the contestants' drawings from 73 entries will be displayed at the Art League of Marco Island from Dec. 8- 23.
