What's Your Favorite Place? Contest
View list of winners >>
In Fall 2005, students in grades 9 – 12 were encouraged to
share their favorite place in Allegheny County in the form of a
collage, painting, drawing, or photograph. Contest information was
distributed to each of the 43 school districts within Allegheny
County, and the City of Pittsburgh Public Schools. Approximately
95 contest submissions were received from 7 school districts.
Winners from each grade were selected by a judging panel, which
included representatives from Student Voices, Community Connections,
and CAPA. The entries were displayed in the lobby of the Regional
Enterprise Tower, and an awards ceremony took place to congratulate
the 12 winners. Representatives from Allegheny County Council, County
Chief Executive Dan Onorato’s Office, and the Allegheny County
Department of Economic Development were on hand to congratulate
the winners.
Special recognition goes to Christopher Bahur and Ashley Kilp from
Thomas Jefferson High School for their interest and input regarding
youth outreach in Allegheny County. Their report “Youth Activism
in Allegheny County” is currently being reviewed by the Planning
Team.
Thank your to all of the teachers and school districts that participated.
Congratulations to our winners!!
