Six student artists in Ada County will see their work displayed on Ada County Highway District street sweepers.

The winners of ACHD's art contest were announced Wednesday evening during ACHD's Commission meeting.

ACHD received 16 eligible artwork submissions from students from across Ada County in grades 6-12. The theme, "Seasons of Transportation," focused on the variety of work ACHD does throughout the year. Artists chose one season, or all four seasons, to depict the important work that occurs during that time.

The artwork was posted on social media for members of the public to vote for their favorite. ACHD staff members also chose one of the winning pieces. The remaining artwork was scored by a panel of judges made up of ACHD staff members and artists involved in city art programs in Ada County.

Team Choice: Taelyn Baiza - Grade 10, Boise High School

People's Choice: Bergen DeRosia - Grade 9, Renaissance High School

Committee Choice:

• Sneha Sharma - Grade 12, Timberline High School
• Emmie Dinger - Grade 6, Lewis and Clark Middle School
• Carolyn Thurman - Grade 8, Lewis and Clark Middle School
• Clara Little - Grade 7, Pi STEM Academy

The winning artwork will be turned into a wrap and installed on an ACHD sweeper truck. The trucks will display the artwork across Ada County as part of ACHD's street sweeping program.

Each winner received a $50 gift card, certificate, and swag bag. Additionally, Director Wong presented the winning artists with an ACHD Director's Challenge Coin.

Following the announcement of the winners at Wednesday's ACHD Commission Meeting, attendees were able to see the first completed wrap featuring artwork by Boise High School sophomore, Taelyn Baiza.
