Ganadores del concurso de arte Splash of Creativity
Cal Water announced the winners of its annual Splash of Creativity art competition, part of the Tap Into Learning environmental education program, today. The competition celebrates students' creative contributions toward water conservation and awareness, and is one of Cal Water's many efforts to increase attention on California water issues.
The nine winning submissions were carefully, and thoughtfully, created by student artists attending grades K-12 within Cal Water service areas across the state. Using crayons, markers, colored pencils, and even paint, students showed others the importance of water conservation. Splash of Creativity, formerly known as the H2O Challenge's Individual Challenge, is designed to foster a deeper understanding of water issues while offering students an opportunity to gain recognition for their artistic talents.
