Voices of the River Contest

Show Us What the River Means to You!

Every spring we host our Voices of the River: Art & Poetry Contest. We ask kids to use the river as a source of inspiration to showcase their creativity. Each year we are so amazed by the talent of these young artists and poets. All of the submitted works are displayed at our annual Earth Day Kids Festival, after which they’re moved to various cafes, restaurants, and museums. Winners are selected by a council of judges made up of local artists, writers, and community leaders. Many generous businesses also donate prizes for winners from each age group and category.
