The Grand Prize Winner is Nick Boczek, a fourth grader at Immaculate Heart of Mary in Florence, KY.  He will receive a $500 prize and his artwork will be used to promote the 2017 Ohio River Sweep.  In addition, the art department of Immaculate Heart of Mary will receive $100 for art supplies.

 

The T-shirt Design Winner is Abbigail DiBiaro, a tenth grader at West Union High School. She will receive a $500 prize and her poster design will be used as the T-shirt design for all River Sweep shirts. Each person participating in the River Sweep receives a free T-shirt. 

 

There were 13 other grade level winners, one in each grade level (kindergarten through 12th grade).  They each will receive a $50 prize.  A complete list of winners and images of their posters is available on the Ohio River Sweep web page.
