It’s World Water Day on March 22.

The importance of water in our everyday lives and the environment cannot be overstated!

To celebrate, we’re partnering up to have a photo comp to get the best images of water in our region!

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 which was launched on World Water Day.

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 Waterways Executive Manager, Chris Solum said the competition would help demonstrate what water means to people and how it flows through their lives.

“By becoming aware of the impact that water has on us every day, we can be more conscious of the water we use and ensure we don’t waste it,” Mr Solum said.

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.
