Decal Design Competition
The winner of the 2018-1019 Decal Competition is:
Schuyler Workmaster
Her pastel drawing, entitled “The Arlington Skyline and Potomac River,” won by majority vote. Over 3,600 votes were tallied in the six weeks of county-wide voting, and votes came from every corner of the county.
Workmaster’s description of her design: “My piece fuses both the nature and city aspect of Arlington. The juxtaposition of the serenity of nature and the bustling city behind it shows that Arlington is both beautiful and cosmopolitan. My piece represents how different parts of Arlington come together to form one community.”
191 Arlington high school students submitted designs. Workmaster was a finalist in 2016 and 2017, as well. She is an 11th grader at Bishop Denis J. O’Connell High School.
The Treasurer’s Office used Instant Runoff Voting (IRV). For information on IRV, please read here.
