Every year Manatee County Utilities invites Manatee County students to participate in the Annual “Drop Savers" Poster Contest. Students in grades K-12 are encouraged to create a poster depicting a water conservation idea: in slogan form, drawing form, or both. The contest teaches students about the importance of water conservation. We feel that our best opportunity to conserve water is through long-range education and awareness programs, and what better way than to begin with our young people?
Click on the link below to view the winning entries! It was so close and there were so many great submissions, we are including Honorable Mentions, as well as the top 3 winners.
The first place winners go on to the State's Drop Savers Poster Contest - good luck Manatee County!
