The contest was sponsored by PennDot, the Highway Safety Network, AAA East Central, and State Farm. Nicholas received his award at a special recognition ceremony at Yough Senior High School.
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.
