Annual water awareness poster contest 

Every year, IRWD hosts a poster contest for students in grades kindergarten through 12th.

Calling all student artists

For the annual Water Awareness Poster Contest, students in kindergarten through 12th grade are asked to create a poster that shows how to use water wisely or how saving water can help the environment.

Separate contests are also sponsored by the Municipal Water District of Orange County and Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, where winners are then chosen to be part of the following year’s water awareness student art calendar.

Posters are selected based on the originality and clarity of the message as well as the artistic level and the overall uniqueness. The posters are judged within grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12, so everyone has a chance to win!
