Design a Bus Wrap Competition
High school art students across the Valley competed recently to have their artwork exhibited on a moving canvas for the 12th annual Bus Wrap contest.
“We understand that transit options are important to our youth, and this student-inspired bus wrap is one way to that we can connect to a younger generation,” said Steve Banta, Valley Metro Chief Executive Officer.
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 will take home various prizes.
“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 will be placed into service after its unveiling on April 26.
Second place winner, Stephen Jewell, a senior at Pinnacle High School and third place winner, Marissa Salazar, a junior at Corona del Sol High School, Tempe, also will be recognized at the unveiling.
