MWDOC Announces Winners of the 2024 Water Awareness Poster Contest by Municipal Water District of Orange County May 10, 2024 Member Submitted News The Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) is excited to announce the winners of the 2024 MWDOC Water Awareness Poster Contest, themed “Save Blue. Live Green.” This year, nearly 800 entries were received from students across Orange County. Annually, the contest encourages young artists to highlight the importance of water through creative posters. Local water providers and educational partners support this effort, promoting discussions on good water stewardship among K-12 students. A total of 40 winners were chosen across four (4) grade bands—K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Additionally, 17 students received honorable mentions and were recognized with certificates and prizes. In June, the top 40 student winners will be honored at an awards ceremony at Shipley Nature Center in Huntington Beach, complete with an art show, interactive learning stations, a scavenger hunt, and more. MWDOC will also submit five (5) top posters to The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s regional contest, where winners are featured in the annual “Water Is Life” calendar. Congratulations to all our 2024 student winners for their outstanding artwork and commitment to promoting sustainable water use. We appreciate the efforts of our participating member agencies, teachers, and parents! All winning entries are featured on the MWDOC website at www.mwdoc.com/postercontest.
