More than 2,500 students from Miami, Broward, Tampa and West Palm Beach County participated in the contest by drawing, creating a replica or writing about specific themes of colonial Florida.
The winning artworks were selected by art and literature specialists and the hosting committee.
After receiving their respective awards, the students read their poems and essays to the audience.
As a special surprise, Ambassador Cristina Barrios invited Spanish singer Inma Serrano to perform for the students and parents. Everyone in the room sang together the last verse of the song capturing a very special moment of Hispanic pride and artistic appreciation among all.
