South Western Makes it Three in a Row

The winner of the Annual Interscholastic Holiday Mural Art Competition was announced Sunday, December 14, 2025 at Miller Plant Farm in York, PA. Defending their 2023 & 2024 titles, South Western received the most amount of votes in this year's contest!

The Art Competition, in its 11th year, had nine local high schools participate: Dallastown, Hanover Public, Northeastern, Red Lion, South Western, Spring Grove, West York, William Penn, and York Suburban. All neighboring school districts were invited to participate in this festive contest showcasing local talent. Miller Plant Farm provided the canvases to the art departments this Fall and they were returned to the Farm and hung in the garden center on Black Friday. The murals adorned the walls for holiday shoppers throughout the Season. Votes were just 50¢ each, and you could vote unlimited times, in-store and online.

With the most votes for the Art Contest, South Western makes it a three-peat and will be presented with a check for $2,062.50 which includes all proceeds from the votes and a Miller Plant Farm donation. York Suburban came in second, Hanover Public in third, and West York in fourth. These schools will also receive a MPF donation for their efforts.

Miller Plant Farm looks to continue the Annual Interscholastic Holiday Mural Art Competition next year and hopes to increase the number of involved high schools.
