World Plumbing Day 2012
World Plumbing Day is an international event held on 11 March initiated by the World Plumbing Council (WPC) celebrating the important role plumbing plays in protecting the health and safety of society.
This year to help celebrate World Plumbing Day, students around the world have been invited to submit their representation of the day in poster format.
Poster entries should be from students in grades 1 through 5. Criteria for the posters include:
• Must have the words ‘World Plumbing Day’ and the date ‘March 11, 2012’.
• The poster must be on a standard-sized sheet of paper. For example, A4 sized paper or US letterhead sized paper.
• Poster entries will be judged on how well they relate to the presentation rather than on artistic merit alone.
Students who create the best posters in their class will receive a small prize to be determined by the teacher or presenter. Small prizes will be provided for the best poster in each class (to be determined by the presenter).
The winning posters will be submitted in an international competition where prizes will be awarded by the World Plumbing Council:
1st Prize: US$1,000 to the school and US$100 to the student
2nd Prize: US$500 to the school and US$50 to the student
3rd prize: US$250 to the school and US$25 to the student
It’s time schools integrated these types of social awareness strategies into the curricula. We urge principals and teachers to become involved and encourage student participation. Let’s get everybody celebrating World Plumbing Day, particularly those who will shape our future.
