March 11 is World Plumbing Day... every year, everywhere! It is a date that has been celebrated by the international plumbing community since its establishment by the World Plumbing Council in 2010, and is now a fixture on the calendars of political and social institutions across the globe.
The international plumbing community has a vital role in promoting the link between good quality plumbing, environmental sustainability, economic prosperity, and, even more than ever during the present global COVID-19 pandemic, public health and hygiene. World Plumbing Day is a vital way to remember, highlight and promote those links.
All through March 2022, IWSH will recognizing World Plumbing Day with an international poster competition for children in 1st to 6th grade (Elementary / Primary school age). The winning poster creator receives US$1,000 for their school and US$100 for themselves. Second place receives US$500 for their school and US$50 to the student and third place receives US$250 to their school and US$25 to the student. Our favorite poster entries will also be featured on IWSH social media channels throughout the month!
