Join Us for the 2023 Student Art Calendar Contest
Burbank Water and Power (BWP) has partnered with the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) to find student artists in Burbank to give us their vision of why water is vital to our community.
Prizes for Winning Submissions
Locally - BWP will judge three categories (K-5th grade) (6-8th grade), and (9-12th grade). BWP will choose 1st -3rd place winners from each category to move on to MWD for final judging.
Two gift cards will be awarded at each grade category, one for the student and one for their teacher!
Regionally - MWD will select 37 winning pieces of art to be featured in the 2023 “Water is Life” print calendar and MWD digital library. Selected artists will be recognized and honored.
Theme
The 2022 student art calendar contest theme: “Water is Life,” relates to the stewardship and conservation of our precious natural resource, water. Artwork should have a water-saving theme and depict wise and efficient water use by homes, schools, and businesses in the community.
