WASHINGTON — There is no better day than Valentine’s Day to declare your love, and students taking part in advocacy group Food & Water Watch’s latest campaign are proclaiming their love and loyalty to tap water.

The group, through its “Take Back the Tap Campaign,” has introduced a celebrity-judged “I (Heart) Tap Water” student video contest, according to a February 14 press release.

The I (Heart) Tap Water contest challenges students to produce a one-minute to two-minute video that includes a declaration of love for tap water, some discussion about bottled water consumption, and reasons why the student’s college or university should break the “bottled water habit,” according to the group’s release.

Actor Alec Baldwin is one of the celebrity judges for the contest, which will award $1,500 to the first-place winner.
