Poster competition for primary school students
To celebrate National Water Week, we are once again hosting our annual poster competition for primary schools.
Students can create an eye-catching poster depicting the importance of water in a thriving community. It's a great activity for the classroom or art room.
Great prizes are on on offer for students and their schools, and best posters will feature in our 2014 schools' calendar.
Entry categories
Entries are invited in four categories:
- prep
- grades 1 and 2
- grades 3 and 4
- grades 5 and 6.
Theme and entry criteria
The winning posters will be judged on:
- how well they convey water-related issues
