RiverLink is excited to announce the 10th annual Voices of the River Art and Poetry Contest, celebrating a decade of colorful, creative, and inspiring art and poetry submissions from pre-K to 12th-grade students.
Each year the work of these students reflects thoughtful consideration of the rivers and other environments that surround them, reminding us of the power of environmental education beyond the science classroom. Teachers and other educators all across the French Broad River watershed are invited to encourage students to take part in that reflection this year as Earth Day approaches.
Submission forms and guidelines for
2017 are now online at riverlink.org/art-poetry-contest. Submissions are
due March 20 and winners will be announced April 22 at our
Earth Day Kids' Festival (location of festival TBD). Entries can
include 2D and 3D art, as well as writing and poetry. Submissions are judged by
local artists, RiverLink staff members, and volunteers. Prizes are awarded by
age group and type of submission.
This year's theme/writing prompt is
"How are you connected to your watershed?"
A printable flyer can be
found here, and RiverLink encourages the sharing of it with those
who may be interested in participating.
Anyone interested in volunteering
with the program or who has any questions should contact RiverLink Education
Coordinator Micaela Hyams at education@riverlink.org or (828) 252-8474 ext.
