Each water conservation district within the education cooperative sponsors an art contest for fourth and fifth grade students.
Winning artwork is featured in a calendar published by each district and offered free to the public.

The first place winner in each district receives a $50 cash prize, a certificate of recognition, and has his or her artwork
featured on the cover of the calendar.  Twelve second place winners each receive a $25 cash prize, a certificate of
recognition, and have their artwork featured on one month inside the calendar.

Students may draw, paint or use any other medium to depict water conservation.

Contests in Sandy Land UWCD and

Contests in Llano Estacado UWCD and
Permain Basin Uwcd begin in September.
