(KAIR)--Leavenworth students took top honors in a state poster contest celebrating the State of Kansas.

Eighth grade student Joseph Garsow and 11th grade student Allison Muzzy each took first place, in their grade division, for the Happy Birthday, Kansas! Student Photo Contest.

The statewide contest, now in its seventh year, invited students first through 12th grades to shoot photographs based on the theme, Learning in Kansas in 2020.

The contest received 400 entries from 22 Kansas counties. First place in each grade receives an iPad and second place a Kindle.

The annual contest is sponsored by the legislative spouses in conjunction with the Kansas Historical Society. Winners were announced January 29, which is Kansas Day.
