The Philadelphia Water Department, with support from the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, has selected the winners of its annual “Protect Philadelphia’s Hidden Streams” student art contest.
More than 1,500 entries were received, and the winners will get quite a showing. The first-place drawings for each age category will be displayed on advertisements for one year inside SEPTA buses and trains. These along with eight other award-winning entries, will be published in a calendar available for free at the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center.
This year, the contest included a new video category, and the winning entries are being highlighted in the calendar in addition to being featured on Flickr, YouTube (keyword search “Delaware Estuary”) and the website of the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.
