Since 2014, Manatee County Utilities has invited Manatee County Schools students to participate in the annual FSAWWA "Drop Savers" Poster Contest. Open to K-12 students, the contest encourages creativity in promoting water conservation through slogans, drawings, or both. It’s a fun way to raise awareness and educate the next generation about the importance of saving water.

Check back in early April for the winning entries to be posted! The competition was tough, with so many fantastic submissions. A huge thank you to the teachers and staff for supporting their students, and to Manatee County staff for casting their votes—every vote matters!

First-place winners advance to the FSAWWA State Drop Savers Poster Contest—good luck, Manatee County students! We’re cheering for you!
