(MSC News)--A Seneca first grade student receives top honors for commemorating Kansas' birthday.

Noah Hilbert was among 24 students, from across the state, receiving recognition for photographs submitted as part of the “Happy Birthday, Kansas! Student Photo Contest.” Hilbert's winning selection is named “Uncle Darin and Lorelei.”

The entries were divided by grade level.

Sadie Grimm, of Morrill, took second place honors in the eighth grade category.
Grimm's photograph was submitted under the title “From the Hand of a Child.”

According to a press release from the Kansas Historical Society, first place winners were awarded with an iPad, while those coming in second received Kindles.

Students from first through 12th grade submitted entries in recognition of Kansas Day, which is commemorated Sunday, recognizing the state's entry into the union on January 29, 1861.

A program of recognition for the winners was held Friday at the Kansas State Capitol.
