Young artists invited to bring water saving messages to life

Gippsland Water is inviting local students to take part in the annual National Water Week poster competition.  

Local students are encouraged to design a poster based on this year’s theme water heroes: make every drop count.  

For the first time, the competition has expanded to include Year 7 and 8 students, giving more students the chance to get involved. 

Managing director Sarah Cumming said the competition encourages students to learn about responsible water use.  

“It inspires students to think about everyday actions they can take to help protect this precious resource for future generations,” Ms Cumming said.  

“We're looking forward to seeing how students interpret the theme and the creative ways they share messages about saving water.” 

Some simple tips to help local students become water heroes may include taking four-minute showers, making sure there are no leaking taps, or using a sponge and bucket to wash the car. 

There are a range of prizes up for grabs, with local winners automatically entered into the state competition. 

Entries close at 5pm on Friday, 11 September. Local winners will be automatically entered into the statewide poster competition as part of National Water Week.
