We are delighted to launch the Green-Schools Water Poster & Video Competition 2025 to eligible schools*. The theme of the competition this year is Water is Life.

Travel anywhere in the world and people will agree that water is life. From the smallest droplets to the vast oceans, water keeps all life going; it cycles through plants, people and wildlife. Humans depend on abundant and clean freshwater for drinking, staying clean and healthy, foods and more. Good quality freshwater is at the basis of river-ecosystems, lakes, wetlands, peatlands that thrive with an array of plants and animals. Without water, life cannot exist. Water is also of great spiritual importance to many people.

The aim of this competition is for you to explore the powerful connection between water and life: in nature, in your daily life, in your local community. Using your creativity and imagination, share with us what water means to you. How does water sustain life where you live? Why is it essential to the world, everyone’s health and our shared future?

Check back this page in the new year as we will be sharing downloadable posters, infographic, T&Cs and more information then. You can start storyboarding your poster and video ideas in the meantime – we cannot wait to see what you come up with this year! 

(*) Eligible schools: Primary and Secondary schools that have an active Green-Schools committee are eligible to enter our competition. In addition, the Video Competition is only open to secondary school students.
