After some deliberation, our esteemed panel of judges has selected winners for our 2019 Napa County Water Conservation High School Video Contest: Water in a Changing Climate. We asked our video-makers to address the following prompt: Our drinking water resources are being impacted by warmer temperatures, increased evaporation, and more extreme weather patterns. How can we best manage our water usage to adapt to or mitigate climate change?
We had some great submissions this year and we are excited to share with you the top three videos. The first-place video will play as part of the preshow before all films at the Century Napa Valley theater Friday, June 7 through Thursday, June 13.
1st Place: Sarah Carleton & Emma Wallenbrock (Napa High School) Water in a Changing Climate
2nd Place: Martin Arriaga (Napa High School) Small Steps to Conserve Water
