2012 Art Contest

The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary is now accepting entries on behalf of the Philadelphia Water Department for its Green City, Clean Waters Art Contest. The deadline for entries is February 24. Please click here to download a brochure containing rules and an entry form (PDF file).

Students can participate in three ways: by creating a drawing, short video or both. Drawings should portray different ways we can all make Philadelphia a greener city with cleaner waters. Examples can be found in the new Green City, Clean Waters plan.

In addition to drawings, students can submit short videos. This year participants can choose between two themes: Philadelphia’s new Green City, Clean Waters plan; the Philly Water’s Best Friend Spokesdog Competition, or both.

Winning drawings will educate others when they are used in a SEPTA advertising campaign next spring.  They will also be posted to websites hosted by the contest’s sponsors, Flickr, and YouTube.

Other prizes to be awarded at a ceremony next spring include:

• gift cards up to $100 in value for students and $25
  for teachers
• a variety of art supplies
• framed certificates
• a contest calendar available for free inside the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center
