Student Art Calendar Contest
Annual Student Art Calendar Contest
Students (K-12) who reside in Oak Park* are invited to submit water-themed original artwork for Metropolitan Water District’s 2025 calendar. This annual program will include winners’ artwork in a widely distributed, professionally printed calendar, along with a digital library.
The artwork's theme, “Being Water Wise Is …”, means wise and efficient water use inside and outside of the home, at school, in the community, in business and industry, in agriculture, and in recreation. The importance of clean and reliable water to public health has been made even more clear over the past few years. This theme of water conservation and stewardship should be reflected in the artwork.
The TWSD board will review the submitted artwork and submit it to Metropolitan Water on behalf of the artist. The winners will be notified via email in mid-fall 2024.
*Student's residence must be in Oak Park, but they may attend school elsewhere
