Check out our fantastic 2025 winners! The theme was ‘Water Heroes: Save every Drop highlighting the importance of small actions that help us save water.

We use water every day. It can be easy to forget how precious it is. Especially in the recent dry conditions in the region, every drop we can save makes a difference!

That’s why, together with Southern Rural Water and the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority we asked people in our region to share a photo focused on the value of water.
