​CFW asks students to submit a proposal that answers the question:
"What can you do to improve your watershed?"
Students can work independently, or as a team of no more than four to research their local watershed, identify an environmental concern, and come up with a realistic solution. 
  • Proposals should be approximately 1,000 words and include visuals and a budget. Due January 15, 2021.
  • Entries are scored by a panel of judges in the following areas: realistic idea, environmental impact, clear communication, innovation, scope, budget and visuals.
  • Ten finalists/teams will get up to $1,000 to implement their projects and then make a 5-minute verbal presentations at a final competition on Saturday, April 24, 2021 (this event may move to a virtual event depending on health regulations at the time.
  • All finalists win cash rewards (up to $1000) for themselves and matching rewards for their schools. Schools also receive $100 for every ten complete proposals submitted, even if they do not send students to the finals.

To volunteer, please contact Gwen. We always need help mentoring students, reviewing proposals, inputting scores, etc. If you can help, we can find a task that fits your schedule and preferences.
