Bloom High School Student Wins City's Vehicle Sticker Design Contest

Chicago Heights residents will have a new vehicle sticker design this year, following the second annual Vehicle Sticker Art Design Contest, held by the city of Chicago Heights. The contest was open to students in Chicago Heights and was won by Bloom High School student Nancy Castro, who will be honored by the Chicago Heights city council at a future date.

The theme of this year's contest was, 'Embracing Our Differences,' with a reflection on Chicago Heights sister cities: Cedral, Mexico; Wadowace, Poland; San Benedetto, del Tronto, Italy; and Ghana, West Africa. Castro's design incorporates the welcome sign of Chicago Heights with a sign pole behind it directing drivers to Chicago Heights' sister cities.

Residents have until July 2 to purchase a new vehicle sticker, or face a late penalty. New stickers can be purchased for cars and b-plates for $30, antiques for $10, d-plates for $46 and motorcycles for $15. Senior citizens can purchase discounted stickers for $5, with a limit of two per household. Veterans can also purchase stickers at a discounted rate of $5, with a limit of one per household.

Stickers can be purchased at City Hall or at any local currency exchange.
