Calling all water heroes to enter the National Water Week poster competition!

Greater Western Water's (GWW) National Water Week poster competition is back for 2025, with entries now open to all pre-schools and primary schools across its service region.

For the 2025 competition, students are encouraged to create a poster reflecting this year's theme Water Heroes: Save Every Drop, highlighting the role we can all play in saving one of our most precious resources.

GWW's General Manager for Strategy and Partnerships Kessia Thomson said the competition was a great opportunity for students to show their creative side and how they care for the environment at the same time.

"We're encouraging all local students to get creative and enter a poster to this year's competition. You can draw, you can paint or use some other materials including digital technology to create an A3 or A4 sized poster.

“Each year we are blown away not only by the talent and creativity of our local students, but also by their ideas for water saving and caring for our water resources." said Ms Thomson.

Last year GWW received a whopping 1,240 posters from 47 primary schools across 10 Local Government Areas, and hopes to receive even more in 2025.

The poster competition is open to all primary schools and pre-schools across Victoria, with prizes up for grabs valued up to $100 for individuals and up to $500 for schools for each of the following categories:

• Early learning / Kindergarten  
• Prep
• Year 1 and 2  
• Year 3- 4  
• Year 5-6  

Local winners will be announced in October. First prize winners from GWW's local competition will automatically be entered into the state competition, with winners announced during National Water Week (20-26 October).
