The winners, above, from left, are: in third place, Nicholas Fiocca, fifth grader at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Academy, Bayside; first place, Aiden Lim, fourth grader at Holy Child Jesus Catholic Academy, Richmond Hill; and in second place, Maximus Anigacz, fifth grader at St. Matthias School, Ridgewood.
