INDOT launching “Paint The Plow” challenge

SEYMOUR, Ind. — The Indiana Department of Transportation is launching a program for high school art students in its Southeast District designed to inspire creativity and promote safe driving during wintertime weather events.

Paint The Plow challenges student artists to conceive and execute graphic treatments reflecting school spirit—or artwork calling attention to INDOT snow operations.

INDOT will provide the thousand-pound snow plow blades.

Student artists will create masterpieces painted on 12’ X 4’ pre-primed metal.

The plow blades will be on exhibit at community events this summer and fall, then put into use on snow routes near participating schools next winter.

Paint The Plow is open to all high schools within INDOT Southeast District boundaries, including schools in Ripley, Franklin, Decatur, and Dearborn Counties.
