The group was honored during an awards ceremony at the Elks Lodge in Portland on June 21.
The Arrive Alive Creative Contest is open to graduating high school seniors in Maine who may enter a creative project of their choice. First-place winners receive a new laptop, second- and third-place winners receive a new iPad, and every student who enters receives fun prizes from the law firm. Since 2005, over 1,300 graduating seniors have entered the contest from 125 Maine high schools.
