The City of Santa Ana recently concluded its 2021 Youth Water Poster Contest and announced the 11 winning posters. The contest is held city-wide each year to create awareness of the high quality and safety of Santa Ana’s tap water through creative expression. 

While there were fewer entries this time due to the pandemic, we are proud of all those who participated and their outstanding work! 

“The contest offers parents and their children the opportunity to explore various water-related themes such as protecting our groundwater, water conservation and water quality,” says Cesar Barrera, Deputy Public Works Director and Water Resources Manager for the City of Santa Ana. “It’s also an important educational initiative for the City. We want to thank all youth who participated and shared their creativity in this year’s contest.”   

A big “thank you” to our judges Robyn MacNair, Arts & Culture Commissioner, Ward 4, and Frank Gutierrez, Arts & Culture Commissioner, Ward 6, for volunteering their time to evaluate all the poster entries and choose the winners. We also would like to thank Tram Le, our Arts & Culture Specialist for the City of Santa Ana, for organizing the judging of this Poster Contest and the ones in prior years. 

Judges used four scoring criteria: level of originality, visual and word clarity, and adherence to this year’s theme “Trust The Tap!,” illustrating how their tap water is protected from viruses—including the coronavirus—and safeguarded by the City of Santa Ana at all times. 

All participants received a certificate and a gift card for participating this year! Winners were awarded prizes ranging from a Nintendo Switch to iPads. We extend a special congratulations to the following grand prize winners and finalists.
