Art contests – North Port, Fla.
In recognition of Water Conservation Month in April, the North Port Utilities Department hosted an art contest for local youth (kindergarten- 5th grade). The city asked students to design art to be featured in a 2016 North Port Water Conservation and Protection Calendar. Additionally, the city partnered with the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program to host an art contest for 6th – 12th graders to create designs that would be placed on rain barrels.
The city received many designs from North Port students of all ages. Designs were voted on by the community, and each elementary school winner’s design will be featured in the conservation calendar. Each middle and high school winner’s received a barrel to bring their design to life. The winning designs will be displayed at City Hall.
North Point is pleased to see the participation and awareness that the contests have brought to the community. The city works hard to get the word out about water conservation and protection.
