Kitsap County Public Works seeks a new look for snow plow blades this winter!
School classrooms have the opportunity to paint the snow plow blades used in winter

(Port Orchard, WA) - Kitsap County Public Works is looking for artistic flair on three snow plows this winter. As part of the annual National Public Works Week celebration 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) must be received by June 5. Participants will be selected and notified June 8. Public Works will provide the paint and brushes, and drop the plow off at the school the week of June 11. The plow blades are 12' long and about 3' high. Once the plow blades are painted crews from Public Works will pick them up and 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.
