LAS VEGAS (CelebrityAccess) — Sphere Entertainment announced the winners of the Second Annual Sphere XO Student Design Challenge, highlighting the talent of students from across Clark County, Nevada.
The contest sees students in the Las Vegas region, from elementary school through college, submit themed earthday themed artwork for potential display on the Exposphere, the high-tech displays covering the surface of The Sphere on Earth Day (April 22).
