The Inspire Clean Water Art Contest 2021
Sponsored by the Uptown Martinsville Rotary Club
For youth in grades 3 – 12. Open to all students in the Dan River Basin!
Artwork submitted to the contest should focus on the theme “Protecting our rivers and streams and the wildlife that lives in them.” These works of art should be a highly visual learning tool about the importance of protecting our waterways through protection of storm drains.
Nine winners will be announced in December, 2021 – three from elementary, three from middle, and three from high school. Of those nine winners, three finalists, one from elementary, middle and high school, will be selected to re-create their artwork on a storm drain in Uptown Martinsville, VA in Spring, 2022. Finalists will be recognized in regional media and on the Dan River Basin Association’s website and e-newsletter in Spring, 2022. All nine winners will receive a goody bag of nature items!
