"We were very happy with the level of participation and caliber of entries in this year’s poster contest," Lynne Roszell, Manager of the CRVWA said in a news release. "We received some very creative posters for this year's theme of water conservation, and had some schools participating in our contest for the first time. It was quite difficult to choose the winners because there were a lot of great posters, and I would like to thank all the students and teachers that participated this year."
