WARREN, Pa. – The Warren County Conservation District (WCCD) is holding another art contest titled “One Water.”
It explores the concept that all creatures on earth share one water source. The WCCD is coordinating with the Warren County School District and other schools in the county with students in grades K-8.
The deadline to submit is 4 p.m. March 17.
The public is welcome to vote for People’s Choice from March 21–31 at the WCCD building (4000 Conewango Ave., Warren) between business hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Formal judging for first through third place in each age group will occur on April 3 and winners will be notified on April 5. Prizes are being sponsored by the Warren County Visitor’s Bureau.
The WCCD is also offering to show a Non-Point Source Pollution Enviroscape demonstration in science classes to provide students with a hands-on experience to understand that pollution in one area can affect life at another location. For example, if pollution makes its way into Conewango Creek in South Dayton, NY, you might see the effects in Russell, PA. These effects could be in the form of visually seeing an oily sheen on the water, noticing a strange smell, or the worst-case scenario would be seeing dead fish.
Artwork must be original creations of the students and must be on 8 ½ x 11 card stock. Students can use pencils, crayons, colored pencils, markers, charcoal, paint, or a pen.
