2022 Water Awareness Poster Contest

The Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) is now accepting student entries for the 2022 Water Awareness Poster Contest. The annual contest, sponsored in part by Yorba Linda Water District, challenges Orange County students in grades K-12 to create original artwork that expresses what water means to them. The 2022 contest theme is “#OCisWaterSmart.”

For over 30 years, the Water Awareness Poster Contest has encouraged Orange County students to examine their relationship with water and discover how we can all do our part to protect our most precious natural resource.

Each year, MWDOC receives hundreds of entries from students and classrooms across the County. From these entries, 40 winners are selected and recognized for their accomplishments, with four grand prize winners chosen from each grade band—K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12—to win an iPad Mini!

Of the 40 winning posters, MWDOC will also submit five to the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s (Metropolitan) regional poster contest. Winners of this Southern California competition will earn a spot in Metropolitan’s annual “Water Is Life” calendar and be recognized at a virtual ceremony.

The deadline to submit entries for the 2022 Water Awareness Poster Contest is March 1. A complete list of contest rules can be found at mwdoc.com/postercontest.
