The Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) honored siblings Loan Phan and Tuon Phan for their contributions to the transit agency’s student art contest, Expressions That Move You. Their artworks will appear on 10 of The T’s buses until September.

Loan Phan, an 11th-grade student from Dunbar High School, won the grand prize in the 6th to 12th grade category with a pencil drawing depicting The T’s buses as weightless hot air balloons taking passengers where they need to go. Her younger sibling Tuon, a fifth-grade student at Carroll Peak Elementary, won the Kindergarten to 5th grade category’s first prize with his crayon drawing titled “The T Can Take You to See Nature.” The judges were unaware of the relationship between the brother and sister during the competition; they selected the winners based on theme, artistic merit, and creativity.

The T invited all Fort Worth Independent School District students to submit a work of art—drawing, painting, or photograph—that expressed what the agency, the city, or the environment meant to them.

“This contest provides a great program for getting the attention of future transit riders to tell them our story on the benefits of using public transportation,” said Dick Ruddell, president of The T. “Showcasing our winners’ charming impressions of transit n our city streets is also a great third-party public endorsement.”

Bob Parmelee, left, chair of The T’s board, and Richard Maxwell, the agency’s assistant vice president of marketing, present Tuon Phan with a mounted replica of his winning art in the elementary-school level of The T’s Expressions That Move You art contest. An entry by Tuon’s older sister, Loan Phan, won the contest in the other age category.
