Water Resources Art & Poetry Contest

Kyle S.

We invite students to share their water knowledge and express their creativity through a fun annual program. Our Water Resources Art & Poetry Contest complements STEM and the humanities, as it relates to various aspects of water and the environment. Each year, second through twelfth grade students attending public, independent, charter or parochial schools (or homeschooled) in New York City and East and West of Hudson Watersheds create original art and compose poetry that reflects an appreciation for our shared water resources.

To view student entries from our previous art and poetry contests, visit our Flickr Page.

The Water Resources Art & Poetry Contest Flyer is available for download in: English, Español, and 简体中文. If you would like more information, please contact artandpoetry@dep.nyc.gov.
