The school-wide contest drew 88 artists from grades K-5, with 152 artworks entered for competition in six areas. Those placing first, second and third in the Juan Cabrillo competition will advance to compete with other elementary schools in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District.
The remainder of the entries are on display in the Juan Cabrillo library through Dec. 4.
