Water District board of directors presented awards to
winners of the eighth annual Water Colors High School
Photo Contest at a recent board meeting. This highly
successful program, designed to raise awareness of water
issues within the high school community, has grown rapidly
over the past few years.
Students competed for cash prizes, recognition, and
publication of their work in the District's reports
and websites. This year, 157 entries from five schools
within the District vied for awards.
Judges
chose winners in black and white, as well as color,
categories. A Best in Show also was awarded. Three years
ago, the contest became regional with Otay Water District
and Sweetwater Authority joining the competition. This
year's regional winner was from Otay.
Throughout
the summer, a rotating exhibit of winning and numerous
other entries can be seen in the lobby of the Helix
administration building at 7811 University Ave., in
La Mesa. The public is welcome to view the display during
regular office hours from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
