Jeremy Jackrabbit has an important story to tell... and we're looking for young artists to draw his story.
Drawing Contest for Young Artists
Pima County Public Library is holding a drawing contest to collect illustrations for a picture book about water harvesting to be published by Tucson City Councilman Rodney Glassman and Sasha Borsand.
Several drawings will be selected for the book which features the character Jeremy Jackrabbit.
You will base your drawings on text from the book.
