Tommy Spencer, a senior at McClintock High (Tempe), has his winning artwork featured on a Valley Metro bus. Students across the Valley were asked to create a bus wrap design with a message that shows how public transit can benefit the Valley’s youth.

With a message of “Get On Get There,” the artwork features bus-sized faces of children in a bright blue setting. The intention of the contest and the winning art design is to communicate the virtues of riding the bus: saving money, providing easy and safe transportation and improving air quality.

Out of more than 70 entries Valley-wide, the following winners were chosen for their creativity in designing a bus wrap.

• 1st Place – Tommy Spencer, senior at McClintock High School, Tempe
• 2nd Place – Kirby Danuser, senior at Mesquite High School, Gilbert
• 3rd Place – David Callahan, junior at McClintock High School, Tempe
• Honorable Mention – Carlos Roa, sophomore at McClintock High School, Tempe
• Honorable Mention – Luis Hernandez, senior at McClintock High School, Tempe

Sponsoring the event is bluemedia — the company that produced the wrap for the bus. The bus will be serving various bus routes in the Valley for one year.
