Water Awareness Poster and Calendar Contest 

2025 Poster Contest Entry Form

Deadline for 2025 Fourth Grade Poster contest is May 7. Winners will be notified ASAP and recognized at the May 15 Board meeting at 8:30 a.m. A virtual option is available, if necessary. Contact Teresa Penunuri at tpenunuri@sfidwater.org for questions. Winners must be enrolled in a school within the SFID service area. 

Every year the district, in conjunction with other North County water agencies, hosts a poster contest for fourth graders to celebrate “Water Awareness Month.” Fourth grade students in each of the North County water agencies’ service areas submit posters illustrating the importance of water. Three winners selected by the district are eligible to compete in the regional contest against winners from eleven other water agencies and to possibly have their poster appear in a Water Awareness calendar. A limited number of the calendars, displaying the artwork of district and regional winners, are available at the district office.

Special prizes are available for the winners and their teachers.
