WPC Poster Contest

Your child is invited to participate in an international poster contest that could win him or her money for the school and the student. World Plumbing Day is an international event on March 11th initiated by the World Plumbing Council (WPC) celebrating the important role plumbing plays in protecting the health and safety of society.

Poster Criteria:

  • Poster entries should be from students in grades 1 through 5. (generally ages 5-10)
  • Must have the words “World Plumbing Day” and the date “March 11, 2013.”
  • The poster must be on a standard-sized sheet of paper. For example, A4 sized
    paper or US letterhead sized paper.
  • Poster entries will be judged on how well they relate to the presentation rather than
    on artistic merit alone.

Prizes

  • Small prizes will be provided for the best poster in each class (to be determined by the presenter).
  • The winning posters will be submitted in an international competition where prizes will be awarded by the World Plumbing Council:

1st Prize: US$1,000 to the school and US$100 to the student
2nd Prize: US$500 to the school and US$50 to the student
3rd prize: US$250 to the school and US$25 to the student

Many schools would welcome the opportunity to have a visit from a representative of the plumbing industry to talk about the health (and/or environmental aspects of plumbing). WPC members have given talks about “Water and Health” in their local primary school and this is an excellent opportunity to promote World Plumbing Day and inform them about the poster contest. A copy of the PowerPoint presentation can be downloaded here. A copy of the contest rules can also be downloaded here and printed for distribution at the school or in a poster format.

Lyrics: PLUMBING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

Plumbing works, plumbing works
Plumbing works we do the best.

Guardian of living, a healthy lifestyle
Clean water for drinking, nation needs
Safe sanitation, assurance we give
The best plumbing systems that all may receive

Leakage detection or chokage clearance
Water recycling and conservation too
Call our hotline, that's all you need do
We'll solve all your worries in an hour or two

Plumbing works, plumbing works
That's what we do best
Plumbing works, plumbing works
Let consumers rejoice
Whatever your problems and the service you need
The works when completed will meet all the tests

Plumbing works, plumbing works
Plumbing works we do the best
The works must be perfect, the job that we do
To every consumer that promise we make
The cost of our service, a small price to pay
One look at the invoice will make you rejoice

Plumbing works, plumbing works
That's what we do best
Plumbing works, plumbing works
Let consumers rejoice
Whatever your problems and the service you need
The works when completed will meet all the test

REFRAIN
Plumbing works, plumbing works
Plumbing works we do the best.

(Lyrics composed and written by Chia Wai Chon)
