High School

2023-2024 Write-Off Contest

Theme: "Water Conservation with Wade"  

Rancho Water is proud to extend our Write-Off Contest to local high schools this year. Students write and illustrate an original story using our yearly water-related theme. Students can work individually or in groups of no more than three from the same class, creating their stories digitally or by hand. The winning submission will be published, distributed to local schools, and highlighted on our website. Participating in this contest gives students a hands-on way to learn about water as our most precious resource while showcasing their individual creative talents.
