Annual Holiday Design Scholarship Program
With the help of some incredibly generous sponsors, Laurel Arts and Somerset, Inc. challenged schools in Somerset County to build one-of-a-kind outdoor holiday decorations to match the theme “Christmas Music”. The schools are encouraged to build a team with the joint forces of art and tech, including a supervisor in each specialty. The projects are displayed on the diamond in Uptown Somerset before being moved back to their communities for the remainder of the Holiday season! The pieces are eligible to win a scholarship for their school provided by sponsors: Rockwood Casualty Insurance Company and Somerset Trust Company.
The following schools and their local business sponsors entered
