"Being Water Wise Is..." Poster Contest
The "Being Water Wise Is..." poster contest gives K-6 students in Sweetwater Authority's service area the chance to demonstrate how water is a precious and essential resource. By creating water-related art, students enhance their understanding of the importance of water.
Local winners will be entered to compete in the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) regional competition. Regional winning posters will be published in MWD’s 2026 Art Calendar and digital library. Winning posters will also be displayed on www.sweetwater.org.
Prizes are awarded to all local winners!
