DA Art Club Fire Hydrant Design Contest

The Delaware Academy Art Club will be sponsoring a Fire Hydrant Design Contest in the village. Small groups are invited to participate in this contest to design and decorate a village fire hydrant. Groups of individuals should consist of at least one responsible adult. The contest will run from now until Friday June 14, 2024.  You may submit a design for approval until May 22, 2024. After June 14, 2024, all painted fire hydrants will be judged based on their category.

 To obtain a design form and learn about the design requirements and restrictions, use the link (on the left) to download a form. There are a limited number of available fire hydrants to paint, so teams are encouraged to submit their forms quickly. Hydrants will be assigned on a first come first served basis.

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."
