Shalimar Pagan took first place in the Respect for the Planet themed contest. Her artwork will appear on this year’s Earth Day T-shirt. She also received from Freeholder Marie Hayes a $75 gift card as well as a county “goodie” bag.
Natasha Quinones of Wildwood High School created second place design. She received a $50 gift card and a goodie bag.
Juliet Evangelista of Ocean City Intermediate School won third place and a $50 gift card. She was absent from the April 9 presentation at the freeholders’ meeting, but will receive her prize at her school.

There were also 12 honorable mentions.

Earth Day will be held from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., said Laffey.
