Students were asked to submit artwork that addressed the following prompt: “Our watershed is a complex and interconnected system of land, water, air, and the humans, plants, and animals they support. Each of these members plays an important role in keeping our watershed healthy and thriving. For this art contest, we challenge you to explore the role of one of these community members in our watershed.”
“We wanted to encourage classrooms and families to use their local waterways as a source of artistic inspiration,” said Keep It Clean Partnership coordinator Cristina Ramirez.
“Everyone in our community has a shared responsibility to protect our watershed – we see that understanding in the fantastic artwork we received. Thanks to all the students who participated!”
Winning entries can be viewed on the Keep It Clean Partnership website. Art contest participants will have their artwork exhibited at the City of Boulder's Water Festival in May 2024.
