On June 6, 2011 the National Park Service and Forever Resorts LLC, an authorized concessionaire of the National Park Service, dedicated the first-ever LEED floating marina building at Cottonwood Cove Resort & Marina, Nev., inside the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. To mark the occasion, the two entities are sponsoring an art contest open to students in Clark County, Nev.

The first-place winner in each category will have their artwork displayed in the LEED building and receive a family four-pack of passes for Forever Resorts’ Black Canyon River Adventure flat-water motor assisted raft tour below Hoover Dam (www.BlackCanyonAdventures.com). The second-place winner will receive a $50 gift card redeemable at Cottonwood Cove and the third-place winner will receive a $25 gift card for Cottonwood Cove.

One grand-prize winner will receive a houseboat vacation departing from either of Forever Resorts’ two houseboating marinas within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area including Cottonwood Cove Marina and Callville Bay Resort and Marina (www.ForeverHouseboats.com )

Teachers of all winning or placing students will receive two passes for Forever Resorts’ Black Canyon River Adventure flat-water raft tour below Hoover Dam (www.BlackCanyonAdventures.com).
