‘Water is Life’ art contest open to La Cañada Flintridge students
Derek Jian and Shelby Perez — then 10- and 11-year-old students, respectively, at La Cañada Elementary — were the winners of the “Water is Life” art contest, sponsored by Foothill Municipal Water District, in 2014.
The Foothill Municipal Water District is seeking student artists wishing to compete in its fifth annual K-12 “Water is Life” student art contest, a project designed to inspire creativity while fostering a sense of stewardship for precious water resources.
The contest is open to all K-12 students attending schools within the district’s service area, including La Cañada Flintridge.

Entrants may use crayons, markers, pencils, paints, watercolors, pastels, cut paper or fabric. Photography or computer-generated artwork is not permitted.
