Artwork features message: Get On Get There

PHOENIX (May 8, 2008) – Tommy Spencer, a senior at McClintock High (Tempe), has his winning artwork featured on a Valley Metro bus.  Students across the Valley were asked to create a bus wrap design with a message that shows how public transit can benefit the Valley’s youth.
With a message of Get On Get There, the artwork features bus-sized faces of children in a bright blue setting. The intention of the contest and the winning art design is to communicate the virtues of riding the bus: saving money, providing easy and safe transportation, and improving air quality.
Out of more than 70 entries Valleywide, the following winners were chosen for their creativity in designing a bus wrap.

• 1st Place – Tommy Spencer, senior at McClintock High School, Tempe
• 2nd Place – Kirby Danuser, senior at Mesquite High School, Gilbert
• 3rd Place – David Callahan, junior at McClintock High School, Tempe
• Honorable Mention – Carlos Roa, sophomore at McClintock High School, Tempe
• Honorable Mention – Luis Hernandez, senior at McClintock High School, Tempe

Sponsoring the event is bluemedia—the company that produced the wrap for the bus. The bus will be serving various bus routes in the Valley for one year.
