Water Spots Video Contest
Each year, the Regional Water Authority hosts the Water Spots Video Contest.
The contest challenges students to create compelling and original 30-second Public Service Announcement (PSA) videos on a select water efficiency topic. The contest is open to all middle and high school students attending schools in Sacramento, Placer and El Dorado counties and the City of West Sacramento.
Judging is based on creativity, entertainment value, accuracy, originality and incorporation of the water efficiency topic.
