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 2022-2023 school year.

“We received over 50 entries last year and are excited to be able to offer this contest to our Lake County student artists again this year,” shared Laketran spokesperson Julia Schick. “Many transit systems incorporate public art into their transit properties or vehicles, because it’s a great way to share art in the community.”
The 2022 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 – Saturday.
