Pecos River Youth Art Competition
Start date: August 19th
Submission deadline: September 19th
Winners announced: September 28th
The Pecos River flows for over 900 miles starting in the Sangre De Cristo mountain range and down into Mexico where it meets the Rio Grande. Currently the headwaters of the Pecos River face the threat of mining exploration which could put millions at risk of losing the precious water source. The Pecos river is federally recognized as a scenic waterway and provides water to millions everyday. Having pristine waters, which attract cold water fishing enthusiasts every year, it must be protected from severe pollution and degradation. Art is a technical skill which expresses what we can not say in words and can give others a view into the artist’s perspective. We seek youth to share their love of the Pecos River through creating art. Whether your piece is selected or not, your art will be cherished as a symbol of your voice against the threat of mining. Show us visually what the river means to you!
Categories: Youth from Pecos, Santa Fe county, San Miguel County and Guadalupe county will be split into two age groups: 11-14 and 15-19
These groups will be judged by community members from multiple communities.
