4/13/2017, 7:22 p.m.
Artists and would-be artists still have time to enter the competition to decorate Richmond storm drains in the 2017 Storm Drain Art Project.
This is the second year the city Department of Public Utilities is offering the contest to promote clean water.
This year’s theme: “It All Drains to the James.”
Four finalists will be chosen to paint their art on Richmond storm drains in May. Each will receive $400 in prize money. The top design selected by judges will be featured on billboards near Richmond’s waterfront. The public also can vote for the RVA Choice Award beginning May 21.
The deadline to enter a proposed design is 11:59 p.m. Monday, April 17. Details on entering the competition and voting for the RVA Choice Award can be found online at www.rvah2o.org/storm-drain-art.
