Contest Theme
“Being Water Wise Is…”
Students are encouraged to create artwork that shows smart and thoughtful water use — at home, at school, in the community, or in nature. Think about turning off the water while brushing your teeth, using rainwater to care for plants, or helping keep our water clean!
