2024 Water Art Invitational

Twenty-two Prince William County high school students received awards during the Prince William County Service Authority’s 2024 Water Art Invitational on Thursday, March 14. The 154 submissions for this year’s Water Art Invitational depict the many ways in which water nurtures everything. This year’s artwork focused on the role of water as a life-sustaining resource and featured many images of plants, animals, children and families using it for survival and recreation.

Zarin Uddin, a senior at Forest Park High School, took home this year’s Grand Prize.

In her artist’s statement, Zarin explains: “Water is the lifeblood of our planet, enabling all living things with its vital essence. From delicate flowers to diverse animal species and even the intricate workings of the human body, water plays a fundamental role in sustaining life for everything on earth. Throughout this piece, water is symbolized as the renewal, cleansing, and fostering of its existence. Its ability to promote growth and highlight all living entities on Earth emphasizes the role water plays in nurturing everything.”
