Each entry will be evaluated based on the quality of work and its aesthetic appeal as street art. All submissions from each participating school were judged at The Center for Hearing and Speech on Friday, Oct. 16.
The chosen winners from each of schools will then be awarded the opportunity to recreate their design to fit a 4 foot by 4 foot square at Houston Via Colori 2009 in the Via Apprendista section of the street painting festival. An “Honorable Mention” will be chosen from each school as well. The Honorable Mention artwork will be displayed at the festival.
Via Colori also has Via Bambini, which is a section that is a huge hit with children and families. In this section, anyone, but especially families with children, is invited to purchase a smaller square for a minimal fee to create their own street painting. Music and food are also a big part of the festival. Other activities include face painting, Radio Disney performers on Sunday, the Zoo Mobile on both days, Rockets Road Jam Tour.
