Riverlink accepting submissions to kids art and poetry contest

Press Release

Riverlink

RiverLink is exited to announce the 7th annual Voices of the River Art and Poetry Contest. We are now accepting submissions!

In this unique and creative contest we ask students K-12 throughout the French Broad Watershed to visit the rivers of our community and take time to reflect what the river means to them. The students then choose how they can portray the river in a meaningful and artistic manor. In the past we have seen inspiring pieces from students of all ages throughout the entire French Broad River Watershed. Last year RiverLink received over 700 entries, we can’t wait to see what the talented artists and poets of the watershed have in store this year!

Now is the time to start working towards your 2014 submission! We will begin accepting submissions now with the deadline to submit your artwork or poetry Wednesday March 19th 2013. This is a great opportunity for art teachers, classroom teachers, community groups and individuals to learn about The French Broad River and tap into your creativity!

Find 2014 Submission forms at Riverlink.org as well as prompt ideas, worksheets, and lesson plans with the opportunity to even receive provide materials.

Drop off work with completed submissions form at the RiverLink Office located at 170 Lyman Street, or mail to PO Box 15488 Asheville, NC 28813
