Paint the Plow online voting opens Jan. 8
High school students of Knoch School District, the Butler County Area Vocational-Technical School and Moniteau School District are entering the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s annual Paint the Plow contest.
Paint the Plow is a statewide outreach aimed at promoting winter driving safety and fostering appreciation for high school art programs and student creativity. PennDOT District 10 invites the public to vote on 11 plows decorated by high school students in Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, Indiana and Jefferson counties as part of the program, said a news release from the department.
Earlier this year, PennDOT invited schools in the district to paint plow blades based on the theme “Seat belts are always in season,” which was chosen to remind motorists that seat belts save lives and should be worn year-round.
People can vote through an online survey that will be posted on the PennDOT website starting Jan. 8 at www.penndot.pa.gov/PaintthePlow. The plow photo in each district that receives the most votes between Jan. 8 and Jan. 15 will be deemed the “Fan Favorite” for that area.
The winners will be announced in connection with Winter Driving Safety Awareness Week on Jan. 21 to 27.
