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

Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
