National Water Week 2023 poster competition
To celebrate National Water Week 2023, we asked budding young artists from across our service area to design a poster based on this year's theme, 'United by Water'.
More than 800 entries were submitted by children from 35 schools and kindergartens within our region.
It's the first time a preschool category was included and we're pleased to report that we received submissions from all of the LGAs in our service area.
Greater Western Water employees voted for their favourite posters which they felt best reflected this year's theme, 'United by Water'.
