BACKGROUND:
ADOT hosted an essay contest for students in sixth through 12th grades to determine which public schools would get an authentic Arizona Centennial road sign that was originally installed on the state highway system in 2012 to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of Arizona gaining statehood. The topic of the essay contest involved the five Cs of Arizona: Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus, and Climate.
