Creations from high school students from Fayette and Greene counties could take top honors in the state Department of Transportation’s Paint the Plow contest.
The statewide outreach program is aimed at promoting winter driving safety and fostering appreciation for high school art programs and student creativity.
Earlier this year, PennDOT invited students from the southwest region of the state to paint plow blades based on the statewide theme “Seat belts are always in season,” The theme was chosen to remind motorists that seat belts save lives and should be worn year-round.
Among those who entered are Fayette County students from Albert Gallatin, Fayette County Career & Technology Institute, Frazier and Laurel Highlands school districts. Students in the West Greene School District in Greene County also entered.
The public can vote on their favorite plow through an online survey at www.penndot.pa.gov/PaintthePlow. The voting form can be found by clicking on the county names within the table.
The plow photo in each district that receives the most votes through Jan. 15 will be deemed the “Fan Favorite” for that area. Along with the “Fan Favorite” award, the blades are also eligible for the “Judges’ Pick” honor that will be determined by PennDOT personnel.
The winner in each category will be announced in connection with Winter Driving Safety Awareness Week on Jan. 21 to 27.
