Student Artists Wanted for Water Conservation Poster Contest
The contest is part of Keep Citrus County Beautiful’ s Annual Save Our Waters Week campaign and the
Florida Section of American Water Works Association’s statewide “Drop Savers” poster contest.
Students in grades K-12 are encouraged to create a poster depicting a water-saving idea, in either
slogan form, drawing form, or both. In support of the U.S. EPA Water Sense program’s Fix A Leak
Week initiative, the contest will help raise awareness to the nearly 1 trillion gallons of water
wasted from household leaks each year.
Posters will be judged by grade level as follows: Division 1 - Kindergarten and 1st grades;
Division 2 -2nd and 3rd grades; Division 3 - 4th and 5th grades; Division 4 - 6th through 8th
grades; Division 5 - 9th through 12th grades.
A twenty-five-dollar cash prize will be awarded to the county-wide first place winners in each of
the five divisions. In addition, a fifty-dollar cash prize will be awarded to each division
winner’s school to be used for art supplies, as well as a plaque displaying the winning artwork.
All artworks must be received by 5:00pm, Friday, February 25, 2022. Mail or deliver submissions to
3600 W Sovereign Path, Suite 202, Lecanto, FL 34461. For contest guidelines, call (352) 527-7684.
