What Does The Delaware River Mean To You? Contest Gives Voice To River Experiences

The Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed will be accepting entries starting November 20 in the latest Delaware River Means Campaign-- this one Beauty.  The deadline for entries is January 20.

Delaware River Means - Beauty wants to hear about how the beauty of the River has inspired your art, songs, photos, and other creative outlets.

Entering is easy: just upload a photo of something you’ve created that connects to the significance of the Delaware River via the website.

Then, share your entry on social media using #DelawareRiverMeans and ask your friends to click the “Vote” button on your entry to gather votes.  The entry with the most votes will win an original painting of the Delaware River by local artist Jessie Krause and will be entered to win the grand prize of a stand-up paddleboard package.

The final two Delaware River Means contests are: Togetherness, launching in Spring 2018 with the prize of a 6-person tent and other camping gear, and History, launching in Summer 2018 with the prize of a weekend stay at a historic bed and breakfast.

The Delaware River Means campaign is about starting one big conversation about what the Delaware River means to you. Maybe hiking along the river, a place where you gather with loved ones for swimming, kayaking, or picnics, taking pictures or creating art, the history of this great river, or how it seems to create communities all along its shores.

Join the conversation about the Delaware River today. May you keep on enjoying the Delaware River for many years to come!
