Sunrise Utilities partners with the Florida Section of the American Water Works Association  to celebrate the importance of conserving our drinking water through the statewide Drop Savers Water Conservation Poster Contest.

The goal of the contest is to create awareness about the importance of water in our daily lives and why conservation is important. There are 5 divisions including K-1st, 2nd-3rd, 4th-5th graders, middle school (6th – 8th graders) and high school (9th – 12th graders), and within a division, and schools compete against each other.

Sunrise Utilities collects student posters within our Utility Service Area public schools including Sunrise, Davie, Weston and Southwest Ranches. A winner from each division is selected by the judging panel based on creativity, clarity of conservation message, use of theme, and originality. The winning poster in each division is sent to the Florida Section of the American Water Works Association to compete at the state level.

Sunrise Winners

• Winners receive a prize bag and gift card.
• Winners’ posters are displayed at the Sunrise Earth Day Festival.
• Winners’ posters will be submitted in the American Water Works Association’s Florida Section competition, to possibly win more prizes and statewide recognition.

This is a great opportunity for Sunrise schools to showcase their students’ talents and commitment to education about preservation of our natural resources.
