Five Finalists Selected in Water Awarness Poster Contest

April 22, 2014 - PRLog -- Five posters created by local students describing why it’s important to save water have been selected for judging in the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s “Water is Life” poster contest.

Irvine Ranch Water District selected the posters from several hundred received from schools in the Irvine Unified, Tustin and Saddleback Unified school districts.

The five finalists will be sent to Metropolitan, where they will compete with posters submitted by water agencies all over Southern California. IRWD has had at least one winner every year for more than 20 years of participation

Once Metropolitan makes its selection, students will be notified in the fall if their posters will be published in the 2015 Water is Life calendar.

The five finalists for 2014 are:

Khoo Zi Yun (Geraldine) Ang, fifth grade, Alderwood School
Ashley Lee, second grade, Hicks Canyon Elementary School
Ethan Ouyeung, third grade, Stonegate Elementary School
Rayaan Bhagani, third grade, Stonegate Elementary School
Mannat Bawa, third grade, Stonegate Elementary School


Each student received a certificate and bag of IRWD goodies.

The posters which were not selected as the five finalists will have another chance – they have been sent to the Municipal Water District of Orange County for judging in the poster and slogan contest.
