The contest is open to 8th - 12th grade students who live or attend a school within the Raleigh area or the Extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
Instructions
- Choose whether to create a 60-second video or a drawing/painting.
- Bring awareness to the community about the need to improve the water quality of Raleigh's streams and lakes
- Submit your artwork along with the Capture It! Arts Contest Application.
Application Deadline: February 23, 2023
After the application deadline, internal committees will review and deliberate on all projects in both categories to determine the winners.
