Water Conservation is the Focus of Alameda County Water District’s WaterClips Student Video Contest
Tri-City area students and guests received a blue carpet welcome as they walked into Alameda County Water District's headquarters for the first in-person WaterClips Student Video Contest awards ceremony on May 12 at a District Board Meeting. Launched in 2019, the contest provides a creative outlet for Fremont, Newark and Union City students to highlight essential water topics using 30-second videos. This year's contest theme called on students to focus on the importance of water conservation and provide water-saving solutions for residents.
A panel of local judges representing government, television and radio industries selected winning video entries from students in grades 6-12 representing Middle and High School categories. Qualifying entries met contest criteria, video theme and length.
Student video entries were scored based on relevancy to the topic, entertainment value, creativity, originality and overall quality of their video.
