In an effort to help raise awareness with the younger generation about the importance of stormwater pollution prevention, the Nevada Department of Transportation is having a drawing contest for all Nevada students grades K-5.

Winners will become published artists, with the first place student’s artwork featured on the cover of the 2017 NDOT Stormwater Program brochure, and the second and third place students’ artwork featured inside of the brochure.

The Love NV Waters drawing contest is open to all Nevada students grades K-5 including charter and home-schooled students. Artwork will be judged based on creativity and artistry in depicting the student’s favorite activity at their favorite Nevada lake or river and/or showing an activity people can do to help prevent stormwater runoff pollution.

Information, entry and release forms are online. The deadline is Nov. 7.
