The City of Kingsport’s Stormwater Department is pleased to announce the winners of this year’s Storm Drain Art Contest.
The winners are:
- Trista Demoranville

Each artist will receive a $150 prize and the paint and materials to start their work the first week of September. Drains to be painted are in front of Dobyns-Bennett High School, on Ravine Road (near Holston Valley Community Hospital), on Ormond Drive (near Johnson Elementary School), by the V.O. Dobbins Sr Center and along Clinchfield Street (near the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce).
The contest – now in its sixth year – is a partnership with the city’s stormwater department, the Office of Cultural Arts and Engage Kingsport. The goal of the contest is to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our rivers, stream habitat, and aquatic wildlife.
