A total of eighty-five fifth graders participated from the ABC School, Franklin County School, First Baptist School and home schoolers.  

First place winner was Grayson Millender, a home schooler.

Second place winner was Christopher Russel at the Franklin County School.

Third place winner was Jasmine Gray also from the Franklin County School.

Overall twenty-five hundred dollars was given to the three schools for art supplies.
