Laketran in Lake County, OH, is hosting a Design a Bus Wrap art contest for middle and high school students, encouraging them to submit original artwork related to public transit or Laketran's 50th anniversary. The winning design will be featured on a 24-foot Dial-a-Ride bus for one year, promoting student creativity and public transit awareness. Entries are due by March 7, 2025, and the winners will be announced in March with the wrap unveiled in April. The contest is supported by local manufacturer Avery Dennison, donating materials for the wrap.
"We look forward to this contest every year. Last year's entries were very impressive, and we are excited to see what our Lake County student artists create this year," Laketran spokesperson Julia Schick said. "Many transit systems incorporate public art into their transit properties or vehicles, because it's a great way to share art in the community."
The contest is open to middle school and high school students from Lake County or students enrolled in a Lake County school, art school or homeschooled during the 2024-2025 school year.
One student's winning design will be featured on a 24-foot Dial-a-Ride bus wrap for one year and travel throughout the county.
Avery Dennison, a Lake County-based manufacturer and distributor of pressure-sensitive adhesive materials, makes the contest possible by donating the vinyl material used to wrap the vehicle each year.
