Albemarle County Service Authority, in partnership with the City of Charlottesville and Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority, is sponsoring an art contest open to Albemarle County and Charlottesville City students in grades 1-8. Artists are challenged to create an 11×17 (landscape) poster that illustrates the theme, “Imagine a Day Without Water.” Entries must be submitted by November 9. Get the details »

Student winners will be awarded a $200 gift card (one winner in each category: Grades 1-2, Grades 3-4, Grades 5-6, Grades 7-8, and Fan Favorite). Plus, winners will be recognized at special ceremonies, and their work will be exhibited in public venues.

Teachers can win, too! When one of your students submits a poster, you receive an entry into a drawing for a $200 gift card for classroom projects—your chances of winning increase when more of your students participate!
