Queen Creek holding kids water conservation art show

Calling all young artists.

The town of Queen Creek is holding a kids' art contest focusing on reducing water use.

The Reduce the Use Art Contest is open to K-12 students living in or attending school in the town’s water service area.

Submissions should answer the question, "How can you reduce your water use?"

Submission must be confined to 8.5-by-11-inch paper and can be drawn or painted or consist of mixed media, digital or photography. Art must be two-dimensional only.

The deadline for the submissions and entry forms is 6 p.m., Tuesday, March 25. The artwork can be mailed or dropped off at the town’s municipal services building at 22358 S. Ellsworth Road, Queen Creek, AZ 85142.

The town's Downtown Arts and Placemaking Advisory Subcommittee will judge artwork based on originality, creativity and addressing the contest prompt.

Winning students will receive prizes and have their artwork displayed in the Queen Creek Library’s lobby during Earth Month in April.
