(Port Orchard, WA) - Kitsap County Public Works is
looking for artistic flair on three snow plow blades for next winter. As part of
the annual National Public Works Week celebration (May 17-23) they have
announced a contest to select three classrooms to paint the blades of snowplows
used in snow and ice removal operations. “This is a great opportunity for
students to display their artwork on a uniquely mobile medium,” said Doug Bear,
County Public Communication Manager.
The contest is open to classrooms at all levels. Applications
(see link below) are available online. Public Works provides the paint and
brushes, and arranges delivery and pickup of the plow blade with the selected
schools The plow blades are 12' long and about 3' high. Once the plow blades are
painted crews from Public Works will use them during this winter’s snow and ice
response. Follow the links below for samples of the artwork displayed on snow
plow blades in other jurisdictions.
