Students from grades K–12 submitted original artwork reflecting on the theme of sustainable transportation. The contest aimed to inspire young artists to consider eco-friendly ways to move around the city.
Participants submitted their 8.5” x 11” two-dimensional artworks through various methods including online uploads and in-person drop-offs. Each piece creatively interpreted the theme and showcased remarkable talent and visions for a greener future.
Entries were judged based on creativity, interpretation of the theme composition and age appropriateness. Winning artworks are displayed at bikeshare stations throughout Raleigh providing a platform for young artists to contribute to the city’s sustainable transportation goals.
Due to the success of this first contest organizers look forward to hosting another micromobility art contest in the future.
