Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash announces the 14th Annual Kids Clean Water Calendar Contest. Fourth and fifth graders living in Oakland County will have the opportunity to submit their artwork from Tuesday, Sept. 4, to Friday, Oct. 5. This year’s calendar theme: “We Can All Help to Keep Oakland County’s Lakes, Rivers, Streams and Watersheds Clean!” encourages local youth to submit drawings that reflect their ideas on playing a part in keeping our waterways and the environment clean. Drawing topics will focus on how to prevent water pollution, how to conserve water, and enjoy our vast water resources.
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’s Office.

• Use plain, white, letter-sized paper, in the landscape format (11 inches wide by 8.5 inches tall).
• Bold colors and lines show up best using crayons, markers, ink, watercolors, poster paint, etc...
