Drawing topics will focus on how we can all prevent water pollution, how to conserve water, and how we use and enjoy clean water.
Only twelve winners will be selected. Each winner’s artwork will be featured in one of the months of the calendar. Winners will be notified in November and invited to attend a special awards ceremony in December courtesy of the Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills and the Water Resources Commissioner.
