Youth Water Poster Contest Rules and Instructions

Poster Theme: “Fill It From The Tap” Get ready for the City of Santa Ana’s third annual Youth Water Poster Contest, designed to promote creativity and educate kids about water conservation and more. The contest will be held during the month of November, when school age kids can work on their posters and compete to win prizes ranging from gift certificates and Nintendo 3DS XLs to iPads. One grand prize winner and two finalists will be selected from four age categories (5-8, 9-12, -13-14, and 15-18). A total of 12 prizes will be awarded. Winning entries will be notified and honored at a Youth Water Poster Contest Exhibit and Recognition Reception in February 2018. With this year’s theme “Fill It From The Tap!” participants are asked to illustrate why drinking tap water over bottled water is safer, more affordable, and better for the environment. You may request a copy of this year’s Water Quality Activity Book to get ideas for your poster. Please use this theme when creating your posters and let your creativity shine!

Poster Specifications Each of these selection criteria MUST be followed in order for the artwork to qualify for judging by the City of Santa Ana.

1. Poster Size: Artwork must be presented in a horizontal format and drawn on WHITE poster board or WHITE drawing paper that is 12” high X 18” wide (Oversized, undersized or vertical artwork WILL NOT BE eligible.)

2. Materials: Bold, bright, brilliant colors show up the best! You may use the following art media: crayons, markers, pencils, paints, watercolors, chalks, cut paper or fabric.

3. Format: Artwork must have AT LEAST a one-inch white or blank border on all four sides. This is a graphics and framing requirement.

4. Theme: “Fill It From The Tap!” is the overall theme. A short water message must be written on the artwork (but, not necessarily the words Fill It From The Tap!). The fewer words written the better. Remember, words must be spelled correctly! Posters with misspelled words will not be selected.

5. Subject: Artwork must depict at least one reason why drinking Santa Ana’s tap water over bottled water is safer, healthier, more affordable, and better for the environment. This can include:

• Drinking Santa Ana tap water is safer than bottled water: Did you know that tap water is subject to stricter safety regulations than bottled water? The government requires all water agencies and cities like Santa Ana to test their tap water for bacteria and toxic chemicals. They are also required to provide people with a detailed report about the quality of their tap water every year. Companies that bottle water are not required to provide the same level of information.

— Each year, Santa Ana’s tap water tests above all health standards required by the government.

— Not only is Santa Ana’s tap water safe, it has won awards and been named among the best tasting in the world too!

• Drinking Santa Ana tap water is good for your health: Sugar-sweetened drinks play a big role in obesity among children and adults in America. Drinking water from the tap is a healthier beverage choice. Doctors recommend drinking lots of water since this has been medically proven to increase your overall health.

• Drinking Santa Ana tap water is more affordable than bottled water: If you were to drink eight glasses of water a day from a Santa Ana tap, it would cost you only 66 cents a year. However, you could spend an average 2,200 times as much, roughly $1,475 a year, by drinking that same amount in bottled water.

• Drinking Santa Ana tap water is better for the environment than bottled water: Did you know that bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste [garbage] per year? Unrecycled plastic water bottles end up in our landfills, streams, waterways and ocean. It’s better to drink from re-usable water bottles instead.

6. Originality: Artwork must be ORIGINAL (no traced, trademarked, or copyrighted characters and slogans, i.e. Snoopy, Sponge Bob, Dora the Explorer, etc.) The City of Santa Ana reserves the right to question or disqualify any artwork that is clearly not the work of the youth based on their age and grade level.

POSTER SCORING CRITERIA

A total of 12 total posters will be selected, 3 in each age category: — Ages 5-8 — Ages 9-12

— Ages 13-14 — Ages 15-18
