Nicholas’ Billboard can be found at the intersection of Routes 136 and 31 near West Newton. 

He received a check for $1,000 and the high school art department received another $1,000.  In addition, he received a Certificate of Special Recognition from the Westmoreland County Commissioners, represented by Commissioner Doug Chew as well as receiving praise from Representative Eric Davanzo; both were in attendance.

Nicholas’ work was the result of art teacher, Therese Berkey, who encouraged Nicholas to enter the contest.
