Deadline for design submissions were Monday, June 30. Possible designs might include children, dogs, flowers, rivers, and patriotic themes. Forbidden are themes related to sex, politics, death and religion.
Selected artists will paint the hydrants at their own expense, using materials specified by the Harrisburg Fire Department. Local residents and area businesses may sponsor individual artists by making a cash or in-kind donation of $250 or more.
Once the hydrant paintings are completed (deadline is Aug. 20), a "people's choice" contest will be held during the annual Kipona Fest to determine the winners of cash prizes: $400 for first place, $300 for second and $200 for third. Other artists will receive commemorative gifts.
Awards will be announced during a public reception on Sunday, Aug. 31, at the Conoy Street Playground.
