Let’s get creative! Entries for this year’s National Water Week poster competition are now open and GWMWater is inviting all local primary, kindergarten and early learning students to enter.
Students across our service area in the Grampians, Wimmera and Mallee regions are encouraged to apply for the popular competition.
Last year, GWMWater received more than 370 entries from schools and early learning centres, across five age categories, with one local student going on to win a statewide prize.
Students can win a prize pack of up to $100 for themselves and $400 for their school to spend on a sustainability project. This year, students are being asked to design, draw or paint a poster that reflects this year’s poster competition theme, ‘Water for all, inspiring action’ which highlights the important role water plays in bringing individuals and communities together.
Winners from GWMWater’s local competition will automatically be entered into the state competition, with results announced during National Water Week (21-27 October).
GWMWater Manager Communications and Engagement, Holly Noonan, said the competition was a great opportunity for students to learn about the value of water in a way that’s fun and engaging.
“We’ve seen some incredible entries over the years that promote water saving tips, the need to protect water as a precious resource and that showcase the local landscape,” Ms Noonan said.
“We encourage all local students to get on board and participate, and do our region proud.”
There are categories for each age range, from early learning and kindergarten to grade 6. Entries close 6 September. For more information, visit the National Water Week poster competition page https://www.nationalwaterweek.com.au/gwm-water
