ENTRY DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL APRIL 30TH

WATER’S WORTH IT® is a broad-based messaging campaign from CWEA and the Water Environment Federation (WEF) that helps to bring attention to the value and importance of clean water and the infrastructure that supports it; the essential work of water professionals; and the need for everyone who uses water to help protect it for today and the future. The campaign aims to inform a range of audiences, including the general public, media, opinion leaders, decision-makers, and elected officials.

We’re looking for California specific photos to use in our Water’s Worth It outreach graphics, so we’re hosting a photo contest.
