Penobscot Marine Museum First Annu- al T-shirt Design Contest Winners Penobscot Marine Museum’s theme for
the 2017 season is Gone Fishing! exploring the world of Maine’s commercial fi sheries. To connect with Maine students on this topic, PMM asked for help in designing a Maine fi sh t-shirt. The contest was open to any school aged student in Maine. The 300+ entries made it a diffi cult

The fi rst place winner is Aleida from Bucksport Middle School, who received a lifetime membership to Penobscot Marine Museum, as well as a fi eld trip for her class. The second place is Hannah from Leroy H. Smith School, and third place is Madeline from Moscow Elementary School. Because of the fantastic response, Pe-
