South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue and Lake Valley Fire Protection District are hosting an art contest for Lake Tahoe Unified School District elementary school students in grades K-5. The theme is ‘No Fireworks.’ Draw them something that will remind the public that personal fireworks are never allowed in Tahoe.

The contest will run from June 8 to June 17. The winner will be announced on June 18 through the departments’ social media sites. Submit artwork to fireinfo@cityofslt.us by June 17.

There will be one winner for the city schools, Tahoe Valley and Bijou, and another winner for schools in the county, Sierra House and the Magnet School. The 2 winning artists will be chauffeured to school on June 22, the last day of school, in a fire engine.

Best of luck to all and we are looking forward to seeing your creative artwork!
