Though originally open to just Pittsburgh Public School students, the contest has expanded to included neighboring districts such a Wilkinsburg and Penn Hills, as well as charter schools within the city of Pittsburgh.
“Sometimes they participate, sometimes not,” said Hershberger. “This year we had more than 100 student submissions as well as some submitted by teachers on their students’ behalf.”
The awards range from a $25 gift certificate to the Artist & Craftsman Supply store to a $25,000 scholarship to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
