Stormwater Partners launched the student video contest in 2021 to encourage students to think about their impacts on and connections to local streams. The annual contest asks students to show their creativity by producing 25 or 55-second videos about their connection to water or ways to prevent pollution. This year more than 65 students from 12 Clark County middle and high schools submitted videos.

Local businesses Consor Engineering, MacKay Sposito, Olson Environmental, Otak, and Northwest Watersheds LLC sponsored the cash prizes. The Liberty Theater in Camas supported the contest by running promotional videos before movie screenings.

Stormwater Partners of Southwest Washington is a coalition of local jurisdictions and organizations including Clark County and the cities of Battle Ground, Camas, La Center, Ridgefield, Vancouver and Washougal. Learn more at stormwaterpartners.com.
