KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL) — The winners of Kingsport’s annual Storm Drain Art Contest were announced on Monday.

The following artists and designs were chosen to paint select storm drains in front of Dobyns-Bennett High School, on Ravine Road, on Ormond Drive, by the V.O. Dobbins Sr Center and along Clinchfield Street.
