Deadline Approaches For Youth Art Contest

MILPITAS, CA — The deadline is approaching for California Assemblymember Alex Lee's (D-24) second annual Youth Art Contest. He invites K-12 students in his district, including Milpitas, to showcase their creativity under the theme "Riding Future Transit."

The contest encourages young artists from Fremont, Milpitas, Newark, Northern San Jose, and Sunol to envision the future of public transportation as California transitions to zero-emission vehicles. With buses and trains playing a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Lee hopes the contest will inspire students to imagine the transit systems of tomorrow.

"Transportation is key in our fight against climate change," Lee said. "This contest gives students a chance to share their vision of the clean, efficient transit systems that will shape their future."

Entries will be judged based on creativity and how well they illustrate the theme. Submissions must be mailed or delivered to Lee’s District Office at 1313 N. Milpitas Blvd, Suite 255, Milpitas, CA 95035 by Friday, Feb. 28, 2025, at 5 p.m.

The winners will be honored at the California State

Assembly and have their artwork displayed in Lee’s Capitol Office for one year.

For more information, students and parents can contact the District Office at (408) 262-2501 or email Anurag.Pal@asm.ca.gov.
