Laketran’s (Lake County, OH) Design a Bus Wrap student art contest is open for entry submittals. The theme for this year’s contest is Laketran’s 50th anniversary.

Middle school and high school students from Lake County are eligible to enter by submitting original artwork. Participants are encouraged to create a design that either promotes public transit, Lake County, or highlights Laketran’s 50th anniversary.

One student’s winning design will be featured on a 24-foot Dial-a-Ride bus wrap for one year and travel throughout the county.

The contest is open to middle school and high school students from Lake County or students enrolled in a Lake County school, art school or homeschooled during the 2024-2025 school year. Entries are due Friday, March 7, 2025. Winners will be announced in March and the bus wrap will be unveiled in April.

“We look forward to this contest every year. Last year’s entries were very impressive, and we are excited to see what our Lake County student artists create this year,” Laketran spokesperson Julia Schick said. “Many transit systems incorporate public art into their transit properties or vehicles, because it’s a great way to share art in the community.”

Avery Dennison, a Lake County-based manufacturer and distributor of pressure-sensitive adhesive materials, makes the contest possible by donating the vinyl material used to wrap the vehicle each year.

The 2024 art contest winners, along with additional entries, are on display at the Frank J. Polivka transit center at Lakeland Community College that is open to the public Monday through Saturday.
