Photography competition highlights the value of water
South-west residents can win some great prizes in a regional photography competition that aims to highlight the importance of saving of water.
Wannon Water, Southern Rural Water and the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority have teamed up to organise the competition launching on World Water Day on Saturday 22 March.
Wannon Water’s Communications Project Advisor Courtney Mathew said people from across the region are being encouraged to get creative and snap a photo.
“It might show an image of water in the garden, in our environment or perhaps for recreation – anything that demonstrates why water is important to them,” Ms Mathew said.
“The competition is part of our Every Drop Counts campaign which aims to highlight the small things we can all do to help save water.”
Glenelg Hopkins CMA said the competition would help demonstrate what water means to people and how it flows through their lives.
The competition has two categories:
- Junior – under 18 years old – JBL Flip 6 Portable Waterproof Speaker and water saving prize pack
- Open – all other entries – Water saving prize pack and $250 Bunnings voucher.
There’ll also be a people’s choice award selected by the public with a chance to win a water saving prize pack and $50 Bunnings voucher.
Entries are now open at engage.wannonwater.com.au and close on 21 April 2025.
