🎨💧Get Creative for National Water Week: 2026 Victorian Poster Competition! 🎨💧

A MESSAGE FROM MS. LUCY and the GREEN TEAM...

As our school’s Green Team leader, I love sharing opportunities for our students to connect with environmental issues outside the classroom and school. This term, South East Water is hosting the 2026 Victorian Poster Competition, and it’s a wonderful project for kids to tackle at home!

This year’s theme is ‘Water Heroes: Make Every Drop Count’. It’s a great chance for students to reflect on how precious water is and showcase their artistic talents.

KEY DETAILS

Who can enter: Early learning/Kindergarten through to Secondary school students.
Theme: Water Heroes: Make Every Drop Count
Format: A4 or A3 poster size. You can use any medium—paint, textas, colored pencils, collage, photos, or digital graphics (note: AI-generated artwork is not permitted).
Deadline: 5:00 PM, Friday 11 September 2026

PRIZES

There are individual gift cards ($100, $50, and $25) up for grabs across each age category!

Plus, for every participating family who enters our school's name we get an entry to win a $500 gift card towards a school sustainability project.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Because this is an optional home activity, families will submit their child's entry directly online:

Have your child create their poster at home.
Take a high-resolution, well-lit photo or scan of the artwork (in .JPG, .PNG, or .PDF format, under 20MB).
Upload the entry directly to the South East Water Poster Competition portal.
Make sure to select our school’s name and postcode so your entry counts towards our school community! (Parents/guardians entering individually can just put "1" under estimated participants).

Winners will be announced during National Water Week (19–25 October 2026). For more details visit https://www.nationalwaterweek.com.au/south-east-water.

We can't wait to see our young Water Heroes in action! If your child enters, please feel free to bring the posters in to be displayed at school, or send a photo of their artwork my way so we can celebrate their creativity.

Happy creating!

Ms Lucy
