Foothill Municipal Water District (Foothill MWD) is conducting its seventh annual K-12 student art contest with the theme of competition adhering to the phrase “Water Is Life.” This is a fun and educational project that serves to inspire student creativity about the stewardship of precious water resources.
The contest is open to all K-12 students attending a school located within the Foothill MWD service area. This includes schools primarily located within La Crescenta-Montrose, the City of La Cañada Flintridge and Altadena.
All art entries for the 2018 “Water Is Life” student art contest will be separated into three groups (grades K-3, 4-6, and 7-12) prior to judging. The grand prize winning entry for each group will receive $100 for the student and a $50 gift card for the sponsoring teacher.
This event is co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) and all winning entries will be submitted to MWD for a second round of competition to be included in the 2019 “Water Is Life” student artwork calendar.
Deadline for entries is Monday, April 2, including postmarked submissions.
