Local Residents Invited to Participate in Annual Delaware Academy Fire Hydrant Design Contest

The Delaware Academy Art Club is hosting its annual Fire Hydrant Design Contest. Small groups, with at least one adult, are invited to design and decorate a village fire hydrant. The contest runs until June 14, 2024, and design submissions are open until May 22, 2024. After the contest, all designs will be judged based on their category.

Participants can get design forms, requirements, and restrictions from the Delaware Academy High School or Delhi Elementary School main offices, or the school district's 'Arts' webpage. Forms can also be requested via email. The number of fire hydrants available for painting is limited, so early submission is encouraged. Hydrants are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

The contest has two categories: 'Community Pride' and 'Under 14 Years Old'. A third category is available for participants who want to design a fire hydrant for fun. The winners of the two judged categories will receive a cash prize of $50.00.

The Fire Hydrant Design Contest is a joint effort of the Delaware Academy's student Art Club, the Village of Delhi, and the Delhi Beautification Committee. The contest has been held annually for about 14 years.

Delaware Academy high school art teacher Brian Rolfe oversees the contest. The goal is to promote community spirit and artistic expression among participants of all ages.
