This year 656 youth county-wide participated hoping to reach the finals that were held Thursday July 22^nd on the sidewalks in front of Pratt Munson William Proctor in Utica. The final competition had 60 youth compete. Medals were given to the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place finishers in each age category. After the competition all 60 finalists were invited to take a free tour of Munson William Proctor Art Institute.

“It’s an event where you walk into with a smile on your face and walk away from with an even bigger smile on your face,” Oneida County Youth Bureau Director Bob Roth said. “It’s a neat event and a fantastic opportunity for our youth to experience one of the jewels of Oneida County, Munson William Proctor Art Institute.”
