Arlington Water Utilities is inviting Arlington students to celebrate the Value of Water and share their artistic talent this fall.
The Value of Water Mini Poster Contest is a yearly competition for students in grades pre-kindergarten through 4th-grade who live or attend school in Arlington. Entries will be accepted Sept. 2, 2025, through Oct. 13, 2025. Please enter only once.
Contest winners for each grade level, along with their teachers, will receive an invitation to be recognized at an Arlington City Council meeting in November 2025. In addition, winners will receive a fun STEAM kit, books, passes to the Art and Science of Arachnids Exhibit at River Legacy Nature Center, and swimming pool passes from Arlington Parks and Recreation.
Here is how to enter:
Grades
Kindergarten - Grade 4: Please use an 8 ½ by 11-inch piece of paper to show us why water is important to you – whether it’s splashing in the pool or drinking a cool glass of lemonade. You can show us how animals use water, too!
Pre-kindergarten students can complete one of the coloring sheets posted at this link (click here) or create their own artwork to enter. Use crayons, colored pencils, watercolors, or acrylic paints to create a colorful drawing. Please only use one sheet of paper.
On the back of your entry, a separate piece of paper, or in an email, please include:
- Your first name
- Grade
- School you attend
- Your parent’s or guardian’s phone number
- A couple of sentences to answer these questions: 1. What did you draw? 2. Why is water important in your life?
Send us a picture of your art at waterconservation@arlingtontx.gov. Or you can turn your entry in at any Arlington Public Library location, River Legacy Nature Center, or the Arlington Water Utilities South Service Center by the end of the day on Monday, Oct. 13, 2025.
Sponsored by Arlington Water Utilities, Arlington Public Library, River Legacy Nature Center, and Tarrant Regional Water District. Immediate family members of sponsor employees are not eligible for contest prizes. For a full list of rules, visit SaveArlingtonWater.com.
