Time is running out to submit an entry for the Foothill Municipal Water District's (FMWD) second annual K-12 student art contest.
This year's theme: “Water Is Life.''
This educational project serves to inspire student creativity while considering the stewardship of our precious water resources, said Daniel Drugan, a water program technician for the FMWD. The contest is open to all students K-12, attending a school located within the service area of a member water agency that FMWD serves (Altadena, La Cañada and La Crescenta and Montrose).
Art must be submitted on 12” x 18” white poster board or drawing paper with a one-inch white or blank border left on all four sides of the art. FMWD has a stack of art paper of the proper poster size for this contest in its main office should students, teachers or parents wish to stop in and grab some.
Entries may use the following art media: crayons, markers, pencil, paints, watercolors, pastels, cut paper, or fabric. Photography or computer generated artwork is not permitted.The contest packet, which includes all rules, examples of winning entries, and the entry form can be found here.
The grand prize winning entry will receive $150 for the student and a $100 gift card for the sponsoring teacher. This event is co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) as all winning entries fielded by this contest will be submitted to MWD for a second round of competition to be included in the 2014 “Water Is Life” Student Artwork Calendar.
