EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Students at the Ysleta Independent School District participated in the annual Virgen de Guadalupe Art Contest.

Alondra Rivera, a student at Bel Air, has won second place in this year’s Virgen de Guadalupe Art Contest with her colored pencil piece titled “Virgen Morena.”

The contest, part of the district’s annual Virgen de Guadalupe Exhibition, encourages students to explore their artistic talents while learning about the cultural significance of one of Mexico’s most revered religious icons.

The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated every December 12.
