Time to get drawing, kids!

The National Water Week poster competition is back with entries for this year’s prizes now open.

Primary, kindergarten and early learning students are invited to design a poster on the theme ‘United by Water’, which highlights the important role water plays in bringing individuals and communities together.

Posters can use any art material, medium or technology – from crayons to computer-generated imagery.

This month’s layout team. These students from Gisborne Primary’s Writers’ Club did the initial layout of this month's edition. They like to write for a variety of reasons, such as making a point, educating people on something, telling a story and reporting on events.

Last year’s poster competition winners.

Greater Western Water will judge the winners of our region, which will battle it out at the state level, so it’s time to get drawing.

Last year, Greater Western Water received more than 1000 entries from 21 schools in the broader region.

Students can win a voucher of up to $100 for themselves or $500 for their school to spend on a sustainability project. There are categories for each age range, from prep to Grade 6. Entries close on 1 September. Learn more at www.gww.com. au/about/community/national-waterweek.
