2023 Sidewalk Art Contest

2023 Sidewalk Art Contest

The 13^th Annual Sidewalk Art Contest was once again offered to Oneida County youth in partnership with Munson.  The kids had a perfect weather day to create all types and styles of inspiring masterpieces. Children in age specific categories; 5-7, 8-10, 11-13 and 14-18 had the opportunity to draw a positive image on a single sidewalk slab with chalk donated from Walmart and Target.

There was a total of 70 youth who competed in the finals of the 2023 Oneida County Youth Bureau Sidewalk Art Contest.  Where applicable, medals were presented to the top three (3) finishers in each age category.

“The kids artistic abilities and positive self-expressions were beautifully designed for all to be amazed,” Oneida County Youth Bureau Director Kevin Green said.  “The kids decorated the sidewalk with pride, a lot of creative thought, and their energy was refreshing.  This event would not be possible without the support of our fantastic partners; Munson, Walmart and Target.  Our partners give the youth of Oneida County an opportunity to experience one of the crown jewels in Oneida County” Green added.

The Youth Bureau would like to extend a special thank you to our 2023 Sidewalk Art Contest judges, Dietra Harvey, Amy Barok and Stacy Hill.

We are looking forward to July of 2024 for our 14^th Annual Sidewalk Art Contest which will once again be hosted at Munson around Palmer Park.

The Oneida County Youth Bureau looks forward to having your youth participate and be a part of this popular, fun-filled event as WE WORK TOGETHER to provide all our Oneida County youth with safe, positive, and innovative programs.
