State Assemblyman Edward Braunstein, D-Bayside, has announced the winners of his annual Halloween essay and art contest.

The second grade prize went to Kevin Lin, who attends Flushing’s P.S. 21, while the third grade award was given to Abigail Stein, who is a student at Little Neck’s P.S. 221.

Ilana Kuliyev, who attends Bayside’s P.S. 169, received the fourth grade prize, while Joyce Zheng, who goes to Flushing’s P.S. 32, won the fifth grade award.

“Nearly 300 students from schools in Queens participated in my Halloween Essay and Drawing Contest and I was very impressed with their extremely creative and artistic entries,” Braunstein said.
