4th Annual ‘Students Give Water a Voice’ Art Contest

In Celebration of World Water Day, NVOC announces our 4th Annual ‘Students Give Water a Voice’ Internation Art Competition.

Open to students from around the world for poster, literary, and video submissions.

2011 theme: Water Change in your Community
We hear about climate change in the news every day. But what we don’t hear about is changing water — either too much or too little! Some communities experience heavy rainfall and extreme flooding; while others face a chronic need to find more water as local sources are running dry. Some are even seeing their communities disappear due to rising seas.

Nature’s Voice-Our Choice (NVOC) invites students around the world to bring this problem to light for community members and lawmakers, showing that ‘we all say climate change but what we feel is water change.’ To participate, we hope educators will take time to work with students to study how climate change, deforestation, rising populations and over-use are changing their water supplies. Students are urged to submit drawings/paintings, creative narratives/poems, or videos, highlighting the impact of changing water resources on their local communities. For more information on ways to explore this topic with your students, visit our website at http://www.nv-oc.org
