 GLENOAK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WINS STARK COUNTY OVI LOGO CONTEST

STARK COUNTY – GlenOak High School student Antonio Ong will see his artistic designs put to good use later this year when his logo will be featured on Stark County OVI Task Force vehicles and other marketing materials.

The OVI Task Force, a collaboration of 17 law enforcement agencies in Stark County created to combat drunk driving, held a contest calling for area middle and high school students to create a logo reflecting the organization’s commitment to community and to highway safety. The contest was managed by The University of Akron Research Foundation and judged by The University of Akron School of Art, which selected five finalists and one winner to honor. Other finalists included Luke Donaldson GlenOak High School; Mike Church, GlenOak High School; Blaine Heiser GlenOak High School; Amanda Christman, Canton South High School and Kaitlyn Holshu, Canton South High School.

In addition to having his logo featured on OVI Task Force vehicles, including a large trailer used at OVI checkpoints, Antonio Ong will receive an Apple iPad as reward.

"We were thrilled to see how many students participated in the OVI Task Force’s logo contest," said Project Director Wil Hemker, adding that the Task Force received many strong entries.
