2013 Final Results


Thank you to all of the students who participated in this contest. Over 55 entries were received!

After careful consideration, the $1,000 first place prize was awarded to Kellie Gadeken and Hannah Meyers from Resurrection Christian School in Loveland for their proposal to create a curriculum which will build an awareness of what a watershed is and how elementary students can begin to protect the Poudre River Watershed.
