Submit Designs for “Paint the Plow” Project
Deadline for submissions is Monday, May 26.
The Town of Leesburg’s Commission on Public Art (COPA) and the Friends of Leesburg Public Arts (FOLPA) invite local schools and organizations to be a part of this year’s “Paint the Plow” art project. This year’s theme is “Plow into Your Favorite Book”.
Three designs will be chosen and painted onto Town of Leesburg snowplow blades, which measure 12’ wide by 3’ high. The artwork will be featured in the 2025 Leesburg Kiwanis Halloween Parade and the Town’s Christmas and Holiday parade, in addition to being visible while plowing Town streets during snow events.
Artwork must be an original design, and students must paint the plow. Staff may help direct the selection of students and designs, but students must implement the project. Up to three (3) designs may be submitted from each school however, only one (1) design per school will be chosen.
Submissions are due no later than 5 p.m. Monday, May 26.
Winners will be announced November 1. The school that receives the most votes will win $500 for their school program. Second place will receive $250, and third place will win $100.
