Sticker Contest
Get ready to make a Splash!
Attention 4th Grade Teachers
Water – Use It Wisely is excited to launch our first-ever ‘Save Water with Wayne Drop’ Sticker Contest—and we need your creative 4th graders to help design the first official set of Water – Use It Wisely stickers! This contest is a fun way to get students thinking about why water conservation matters. Now we’re looking for big ideas from young artists to inspire others to use water wisely.
Three lucky winners will score a framed certificate signed by Wayne, a roll of stickers, and a $50 Amazon Gift Card! Your entire class wins, too! A $200 Amazon Gift Card for your teacher to buy classroom supplies & a roll of stickers to share – because winning is more fun when everyone celebrates!
This contest is easy to implement in the classroom and can be integrated into art, science, or environmental studies lessons.
