Logo Contest Held For Clinton River Watershed: How To Enter

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — Are you an artist with a flare for nature around the mitten?

The Clinton River Watershed Council is now accepting submissions for its 22nd annual River Day Logo design contest. The contest encourages local artists to get involved in the promotion of River Day, which will be held Saturday, June 13. The event coincides with Michigan’s Free Fishing Weekend and Great Lakes and Fresh Water Week. Events occur throughout the entire month of June and will include festivals, fishing derbies, fly-tying lessons, clean up events, native plant sales, recreational opportunities, and other activities.

The Logo Design Contest

The winning River Day 2020 logo design will be used on official River Day shirts, the event guide and CRWC website to promote River Day. The winner of the River Day Logo design contest will receive an official River Day T-shirt with their design on it and a one-year membership to the watershed council. CRWC also will feature the artist’s picture and artist statement on the River Day event page on the CRWC website.
