For more than 40 years, the American Water Works Association and its members have used "Drinking Water Week" as a unique opportunity for water professionals and the communities they serve to recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives.
The City of Grants Pass is calling all kids -- grades K-12 -- to design a poster to demonstrate this year's theme, which is "What Water Means to Me." Three winners will be chosen from each category. Enter for a chance to win $100, $75 or $50.
Winners and their artwork will be featured on City social media platforms and on Josephine County Transit buses this summer. Entries will be judged on creativity, originality and relevance to the theme.
Entrants are allowed to use crayons, colored pencils, markers, pens or watercolors on an 8-1/2-by-11-inch piece of paper.
After reading the rules and completing the submission form, submit your original artwork to: City of Grants Pass, "Attention Public Works DWW Contest," 101 NW A Street, Grants Pass, OR 97526.
