In an effort to recognize the importance of World Plumbing Day throughout the month, IAPMO’s nonprofit arm, the International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Foundation (IWSH) is hosting an international poster competition with the theme “Plumbing is Essential” for children in 1st to 6th grade (elementary/primary school age) until March 31.

According to IWSH: “The international plumbing community has a vital role in promoting the link between good quality plumbing, environmental sustainability, economic prosperity, and, even more than ever during the present global COVID-19 pandemic, public health and hygiene. World Plumbing Day is a vital way to remember, highlight, and promote those links.”

The winning poster creator will receive $1,000 for their school and $100 for themselves. Second place recipients will receive $500 for their school and $50 to the student and third place recipients will receive $250 for their school, a $25 student prize.
