Two children from Dunwoody Elementary School took first and second place in the Georgia Aquarium Regional Coastal America Ocean Art Contest.
Third grader Kayla Smith won the event with fifth grader Carol Zhou in second place. Their work was forwarded to the National Coastal America Art Contest, where winners will be notified in April.
The competition for third through fifth graders was judged on visual impact, artistic merit and clarity in communicating the nation's coastal policy of stewardship.
