Vote in the Arlington Vehicle Decal Competition

Arlington looks for opportunities everywhere. One excellent opportunity has been turning the Arlington Vehicle Decal into an opportunity for High School Students. For the seventh year, Arlington County has invited Arlington high school students to submit designs to the competition. Last year the county received sixteen submissions from sixteen students. A panel selects the best for to be four for a competitive vote before the residents of Arlington; these four finalists each receive a savings bond award, but probably more importantly they receive important recognition of their work which can be useful as they advance towards college applications. Last years winner reflects a vision of a snow covered bridge during snowpocalypse.

This years vote is well under way and ends February 13. There are four excellent submissions reflecting the diversity of life in Arlington.

Of course as a biker and a frequent utilizer of the Custis Trail and the W&OD trail to commute to work, my favorite is "Multi-Faceted Arlington" reflecting a bike, bike path, and the sky line of Rosslyn.

Tip of the hat to Arlington County for the program, and for Arlington Public Schools which encourages students to participate.
