Fresh Brand for Clean Water: DC Water and Sewer Authority and WVSA ARTs connection Sponsor Logo Contest
Winner to receive $2,000 and publicity appearance
Feb 02, 2010 -- WASHINGTON, DC ���The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC WASA) today announced a public art contest to rebrand the Authority. The contest offers a $2,000 cash prize for the winning entry.

���Today, we have embarked on a new course emphasizing water quality, environmental stewardship and a meaningful relationship with our customers,��� said DC WASA General Manager George S. Hawkins. ���We seek the creativity of our friends and neighbors that can capture a new brand with some new energy.���

���With the WVSA ARTs connection as a partner, we���re hoping for a large response from a number of amateur and professional artists,��� Mr. Hawkins added. ���We also want the community to have fun with this.���

The logo contest is a partnership with WVSA ARTs connection.

���Our mission is to provide opportunities and experiences for children and adults through arts-infused programs,��� said Rick Offner, WVSA ARTs connection President and CEO. ���It���s always a pleasure to engage with partners who further the arts and can benefit from our community at the same time.���

Entrants may create a trade name, a logo, a tagline or some combination of the three. The trade name must contain only words, or parts of words, included in ���District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority��� because the Authority is not changing its legal name. Complete guidelines are attached and information can be found at www.dcwasa.com/logocontest

Entries are to be submitted electronically, to logocontest@dcwasa.com, no later than 6 p.m. Friday, February 26, 2010.
