Three winners of the 2015 Energy Awareness Month Poster Contest were recognized and rewarded for their entries at today’s MLGW Board of Commissioners meeting.
MLGW’s Energy Awareness Month Poster Contest (held each October) is designed to give students throughout Shelby County the opportunity to learn about saving energy. The 2015 contest focused on water conservation and each student was asked to depict their very own interpretation of water savings in art form.
