YOUTH WATER CONSERVATION
Rules and Instructions
The City of Santa Ana’s water conservation poster contest kicks off this fall for youth ages 5-18. The
theme for this year’s contest is It’s Up To Us Santa Ana. Why? Because it takes a community to make a
difference and conserve water. Last year, we cut our water use by 17 percent! With awareness and effort,
we proved what can happen when a community comes together to use water efficiently inside and
outside of the home, at school, in the community, in business, in agriculture, and in recreation.
Please use this theme when creating your posters. Think about different ways you and your community
can save water and let your creativity shine!
POSTER SPECIFICATIONS
Each of these selection criteria MUST be followed in order for the artwork to qualify for judging by the
City of Santa Ana.
1. Poster Size: Artwork must be presented in a horizontal format and drawn on WHITE poster board or
WHITE drawing paper that is 12” high X 18” wide (Oversized, undersized or vertical artwork WILL
NOT BE eligible.)
2. Materials: Bold, bright, brilliant colors show up the best! You may use the following art media:
crayons, markers, pencils, paints, watercolors, chalks, cut paper or fabric.
3. Format: Artwork must have AT LEAST a one-inch white or blank border on all four sides. This is a
graphics and framing requirement.
4. Theme: “It’s Up To Us Santa Ana” is the overall theme. A short water message must be written on
the artwork (but, not necessarily the words It’s Up To Us Santa Ana). The fewer words written the
better. Remember, words must be spelled correctly! Misspelled words will disqualify a poster.
5. Subject: Artwork must depict various ways to conserve water or use water wisely. This can include:
— inside or outside of the home
— in recreation
— in industries or businesses
— as a community
— in agriculture
6. Originality: Artwork must be ORIGINAL (no traced, trademarked, or copyrighted characters and
slogans, i.e. Snoopy, Sponge Bob, Dora the Explorer, etc.) The City of Santa Ana reserves the right to
question or disqualify any artwork that is clearly not the work of the youth based on their age and
grade level.
POSTER SCORING CRITERIA
A total of 12 total posters will be selected, 3 in each age category:
— Ages 5-8
— Ages 13-14
— Ages 9-12
