Leesburg board reopens kids' snowplow art contest, approves $1,000 paint budget and book-theme
Summary
The board voted to reissue its call-to-artists for decorated kids' snowplows, set a $1,000 paint budget, and adopt a children's-books theme for the contest.
The Leesburg Cultural Arts Board approved reissuing its call-to-artists for the children's snowplow decoration project, approved a $1,000 budget line for paint and supplies, and adopted a children's-book theme for this year's contest during the Feb. 5 meeting.
Board members said the goal is to get submissions out to teachers and PTAs before the end of the school term. The board discussed last year's prize and supplies allocation but did not record a precise, binding breakdown of awards during the meeting. Board members cited an existing budget line for paint of $1,000 and confirmed they would use last year's call-to-artists template as a starting point.
The board voted in favor of the theme "Your favorite book" (described in the meeting as a broad, child-focused prompt) and approved moving forward with the call-to-artists distribution to schools, scouts, preschools and PTA groups within the town limits.
Staff were asked to update the prior call-to-artists materials and to circulate them to the board for distribution. The motions carried by voice vote.
