Design a Bus Wrap Contest
12th Annual Valley Metro Design a Bus Wrap Student Art Contest
High school art students across the Valley competed to have their artwork exhibited on a moving canvas for the 12th Annual Valley Metro Design a Bus Wrap contest. The winning design was produced by Stephen Bielecki, a senior at Pinnacle High School. In addition to receiving his winning artwork on a 40-foot bus for one year, he received a check for $500 from Valley Metro and tickets to a Diamondbacks game, courtesy of bluemedia.“Stephen’s artwork was chosen because it is simple yet strong,” said Dolores Nolan, Valley Metro Transit Education Manager. “The image is reminiscent of the American icon, Superman, which exudes strength and confidence in serving the community.”
The bus is placed in regular service and used at community events around the Valley.
Second place winner is Stephen Jewell, a senior at Pinnacle High School and third place winner, Marissa Salazar, is a junior at Corona del Sol High School, Tempe.
Stephen’s artwork was chosen out of more than 103 entries submitted by public, private and charter schools across the Valley. Honorable mentions were handed to students from Corona del Sol High School and Metro Tech High School in Phoenix.
Program partners are bluemedia, ASU Art Museum and The Arizona Republic Media in Education.
