Water is Life 2006 Art Contest

South Central Service Cooperative, along with the Freshwater Society of Minnesota is pleased to announce the 2006 “Water is Life” Scholarship Art Contest.

The Freshwater Society of Minnesota is sponsoring a $3,000 scholarship art contest for high school students who find an artistic and creative way to express the theme, “Water is Life.” Six semi-finalists from each of three service cooperative regions will be announced regionally at a reception in early April. Eighteen semi-finalists will then have the honor of participating in the final art competition on April 19, 2006 at the headquarters of the Freshwater Society on Lake Minnetonka. Parents, art instructors and noted dignitaries will also be invited to attend this art exhibit and reception to honor all semi-finalists and announce the three scholarship winners.

Brochures and details for the 2006 art contest will be mailed to the schools next week and will also be posted to our website: www.mnscsc.org, along with photos of last year’s contest winners. We are excited to bring this special opportunity to our local high schools and students—we hope students will utilize their artistic talents to participate in the “Water is Life” art contest in 2006.
