DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 11TH, 2022

We are pleased to invite eligible schools* around Ireland to take part in the Green-Schools Irish Water Poster & Video Competition 2022. This is the eighth year of this competition for schools and there are some great prizes to be won. This year’s theme is Groundwater: Our Hidden Treasure and the deadline for entries is Friday, March 4th, 2022. We have ideas and inspiration to help your students decide on a poster design below including a  groundwater factsheet.

We are accepting a maximum of 10 entries per category, per school, but suggest you could initially run an in-school competition to determine the entries you wish to submit as this will link to Step Six of the Green-Schools programme: Involving and Informing.

*Primary and Secondary schools that have been awarded the Green Flag for Water or are currently working on the Water theme are eligible to enter the poster competition. Please note: the Video Competition is open to secondary schools (same eligibility criteria) only.
