Young Picassos, Kahlos and Van Goghs, get ready! IRWD’s annual Water Awareness Poster Contest is back, and this year’s theme —“Water Connects Us All” — invites young creatives in our service area to highlight the many ways water brings people, communities and nature together.

Grab your favorite art supplies and illustrate what this theme means to you. Entries, open to students in grades K–12, will be judged in age categories on originality, artistic skill, and adherence to theme and contest rules.

IRWD finalists will earn special recognition and advance to county and regional competitions, where top winners have a chance to win an iPad from the Municipal Water District of Orange County and could be featured in Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s annual water awareness calendar.

Contest entries are due by Feb. 26. Visit IRWD.com/postercontest for contest guidelines.
