A committee made up of Clean Communities Chairperson Barry Fliegelman, Environmental Commission Chairperson Ronald Balint, and Director of Recreation James Brady judged the student submissions.

The student winners were: 

• First Place: Simrit Grewal
• Second Place: Rahul Kamat
• Third Place: Harish Ragindran

Winners received mayoral certificates of recognition and gift certificates to Barnes and Noble, donated by corporate sponsor Shiseido America.
