Past Winners
Thank you to all of the students, teachers and volunteers who participated. Over 150 proposals were submitted from area high school students. In the final verbal competition on March 26, 2011, the top contestants presented their project ideas on how to improve their local watershed.
Each of the top contestants won a cash prize plus a matching cash prize for their school. This year, $8,500 was awarded. Along with the cash prizes, Agrium has also provided $10,000 to help implement their ideas.
Turning ideas into realistic solutions is the key to improving our local watersheds.
Congratulations Top Ten Finalists!
