River system poster art contest open

The Arkansas Waterways Commission is looking for creating students to design posters to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System.

One winner will be selected in each grade from K-12, according to the Pine Bluff Regional Chamber of Commerce newsletter.

Submissions must include #MKARNS50, a barge with towboat, the Arkansas River and anything else the artist imagines.

Submitted work will be posted on the commission’s Facebook page. Winners will be selected on the number of likes received. The deadline to submit art is April 30. Submissions should be sent electronically to arkansaswa terways@gmail.com.
