On Tuesday, North Schuylkill High School students took part in the 62nd Annual North Schuylkill Halloween Window Painting Contest.
The event, which has become a tradition for the district, encourages students in grades 7 through 12 to transform business windows across Ashland, Frackville, Ringtown, and Butler Township into canvases of Halloween-themed art.
This year, the contest's theme was "The Olympics”. The artistic process kicks off with students submitting their ideas on paper, after which the top selections are selected by the Art Department at North Schuylkill.

Once the artists' concepts are chosen, they are then assigned a window in their respective communities, where they work to translate their vision from paper to a window painting.
Retired North Schuylkill Art teachers are judges for the contest, traveling from town to town as they evaluate and judge the painted windows.
Prizes are awarded for: Grand Prize, 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, and Honorable Mention.
