Art Contest Submission
2025-2026 Art Contest Theme is "Being Water Wise Is..."
This year’s theme highlights the importance of using water wisely and efficiently—at home, at school, in the community, in business, agriculture, and recreation. The importance of clean and reliable water to public health has been made even more clear over the past few years. Students’ artwork should reflect this theme of water conservation and responsible stewardship.
