Water-themed poster contest
Kids just need to get creative and design a poster on the theme 'United by Water' exploring the important roles water plays in connecting us all. There are a number of categories available and some great prizes up for grabs for individuals and schools.
East Gippsland Water Executive Manager Customers, Community and Communications, David Radford said, "It's time to get creative and make a splash for National Water Week. Children need to let their creativity flow like a river as they bring the theme 'United by Water' to life by designing a colourful A3 poster."
"Coloured pencils, textas, paints, paper or digital technology can be used to create their artwork. This is a fun, creative activity for the home or the classroom and I encourage schools and children from across our region to get involved," Radford said.
