2009 Creek Seeker Winners

In 2009, River of Words teamed up with the San Francisco Estuary Partnership to offer a special, localized competition as part of the larger River of Words Environmental Art & Poetry Contest.

The Creek Seeker Contest invited students living in East Bay shoreline communities in the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary to explore their local creeks and waterways and to submit art and poetry about their watershed. These are the 2009 winners.
