Watershed art
The Watershed Watch is taking submissions for its annual Earth Day Poster Challenge from K-8 students in Santa Clara County who want to share their creative vision for clean waterways in Santa Clara Valley.
Posters can address what the student artists do to prevent water pollution or what they love about their local waterways. Artwork will be judged on originality, clarity and expression of the theme.
First- and second-place winners in three age brackets—grades K-2, 3-5 and 6-8—will be awarded $250 and $150, respectively. The winning posters will be featured on social media to promote water pollution prevention. Submissions are due by 5 p.m. on March 16.
