6 THE QUEENS COURIER • MAY 8, 2014 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.queenscourier.com WHITESTONE BRIDGE ART CONTEST DRAWS 300 ENTRIES BY LIAM LA GUERRE [email protected] @liamlaguerre More than 300 students entered the Welcome to Whitestone Civic Association’s Bronx-Whitestone Bridge drawing contest to honor the 75th anniversary of the bridge. The art competition challenged Whitestone elementary schools students to draw — in any form — a version of the bridge on an 8.5- by-11 sheet of paper. They also had to include a reference to the 75th anniversary on their artwork. Only fi ve of the illustrations will be selected as winners, and the artists will each receive gift cards for an undetermined amount from the civic group. “I wanted to do something for the anniversary,” said Devon Michael O’Connor, founder of Welcome to Whitestone. “So I put together this drawing contest, which I thought would be nice and get the kids involved.” The winners will be judged by O’Connor, Raymond Webb of the MTA Bridges and Tunnels division and Councilman Paul Vallone. All of the entries will be on display in the Queens Library’s Whitestone Branch for the public to view. The group plans to announce the winners in Vallone’s offi ce next week.
