Youngsters of Santa Fe who took honors in the city's annual Children's Water Conservation Poster Contest were recognized at Wednesday's City Council meeting.

Alicia Stewart, a sixth-grade student from Santa Fe School for the Arts and Sciences, won the top prize with her poster message "Save the Drop, Save the World."

Winning posters from 18 children will be on display at City Hall through May 31, with first- and second-place winners to be featured in a calendar for 2012. Alicia's grand prize-winning poster will be displayed on a city bus for a year. This year's theme was "Fix a Leak."
