About the 2016 Pacifica Art Contest:
Vidal Jose H. Camacho from Mount Carmel School and Cerijean F. Mangubat from Marianas High School top this year's Pacifica Insurance Underwriters, Inc.'s Pacifica Art Contest.
This year, there were a total of 347 submissions: 211 entries for the 6-11 age division and 136 for the 12-17 age division.
"The amount of entries each year continue to climb. Competition remains high. But, our objective to support the arts and to present our children an option to harness their artistic skills and to keep them from wandering off the wrong path is most essential," said Pacifica Insurance Underwriters, Inc. executive vice president, Shirley Sablan. "I thank school administrators for encouraging their pupils to join and for their ongoing support."
Camacho and Mangubat each received $200 cash and other prizes.

This year's judging panel included First Lady Diann Torres, Tan Holdings Logistics Vice President Alex Sablan, Owner of Quinn Consulting, LLC. Kanae Quinn and President of The Warehouse, LLC. Richard Cole.
"It was interesting to see how the kids see things," said The Warehouse, LLC. president, Richard Cole.
"Nothing makes me happier than to see our children gain confidence in joining this type of Contest. It is important that they feel free to willingly express their skills, artistic abilities and imaginations," said First Lady Diann Torres.
Students were asked to create and submit an original art piece throughout July 4th, 2016 to September 16th, 2016, including the slogan "Rest assured, it's Christmas." Permitted mediums included water paint, oil-based paint, pastels, crayons and pencils. Maximum dimensions were 18 inches by 24 inches.
