Jessica Starr has more in this week's PI 365:

The 2^nd Annual Mixed Media Student Art Competition is focusing on "Historical Presque Isle."

Students will create art based on this criteria.

HarborCreekHigh School is getting a head start.

He's excited to see what the kids are already working on and is looking forward to building on the last year's success.

There are 84 categories to enter your art into this year and the gold medal winner in each category will be up for the Chairman's Award.

Hayden Seibert won the Chairman's Award last year and says it was a huge moment for him as a student artist.

Students kindergarten through college are signing up and hoping to win the prestigious award from Presque Isle.

Registration is due by March 29^th.
