The California Department of Boating and Waterways (CDBW) invites students to participate in the 20th annual Safe & Wise Water Ways poster contest. The contest focuses on the importance of safety when in or near the water.
All California students in kindergarten through eighth grade are eligible to apply. One winner from each grade level will be selected. Winning students will be rewarded with a Coast Guard-approved life jacket, and their poster will be featured on the 2013 boating safety calendar. The winning artwork will be featured at the State Capitol during the 2013 boating season. Also, the winning elementary schools will have an opportunity to host the CDBW’s award-winning AquaSMART Live! puppet show or game show.
Contest rules, guidelines, previous winners’ artwork, and more information can be found on the 2012 Safe & Wise Waterways! Web page. The deadline to enter is October 19, 2012.
