The Vermont Institute of Natural Science challenges teams of creative, eco-conscious youth, adults and families to submit designs for Art on a Rain Barrel, a Vermont and New Hampshire-wide environmental-art contest. Rain barrel designs should raise awareness of the present or historical beauty, ecological, economic, and/or social importance of fresh water in your state.

The top teams from throughout the region will be invited to paint their designs on a rain barrel at the Art on a Rain Barrel Festival on Saturday, May 15, at the VINS Nature Center in Quechee, VT.

The contest and festival are free and open to everyone!
Entries must be postmarked by March 31, 2010.
