The day is for local students in area dioceses.

12 year old Madeline Durham of St. Joseph's Cathedral in St. Joseph is not sure what to think about the competition.

Description: "I'm a little nervous for that, I don't know how everybody's going to be doing and I really want my friends to be like the winners, because I love their drawings."

The students are later judged on their artwork.
