Work for Water
The Freshwater Society presents 2012 Work for Water Art and Design Contest. This year’s contest is a call to action! We are looking for high school students to inspire Minnesotans to take action to protect our waters. High School students have two opportunities to graphically and creatively convey the issue of Urban Runoff and motivate others to respond through simple behavior change, while understanding why their actions are so important.
The 2012 Work for Water Art and Design Contest builds on Freshwater Society’s seven successful years of the Water is Life Art Contest and will be held in partnership with Synergy & Leadership Exchange and the Minnesota Service Cooperatives. The Work for Water Art and Design Contest will not only highlight the importance of water in our lives, but also educate and provoke citizens to take simple everyday steps to protect our waters. 2012 Work For Water Design Contest asks students to create graphic design, short videos, photos, paintings, drawings, etc. to be used as messaging tools for Freshwater Society’s Work for Water Campaign, a multi-year campaign to engage Minnesotans in protecting water. Each contest will have regional and state honorees. Winning entries will be featured on billboards, in PSAs, websites, yard signs, t-shirts, etc. throughout the state. They will become tools inspiring change!
This art contest is open to all public, private and home schooled 9th-12th grade students in Minnesota. The contest has been endorsed by Minnesota Academic League Council and is listed in the 2011-2012 Reach for the Stars catalogue.
