Alliance.

Awards will be presented in eight national categories; three of these categories are also open to international entrants, including the ‘Water Utilities’ category for the first time:  

• Australian Achiever
• Business
• Community Groups
• Educational Institutions
• Government
• Photographic Award (open internationally)
• Product Innovations (open internationally)
• Water Utilities (open internationally) 

For the first time, the savewater! Alliance will also host the 2011 Prime Minister’s Water Wise Award as part of the savewater! awards, on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities.

Entries for the awards close at 5 pm (AEST) on 8 August 2011. Winners will be announced at a gala ceremony to be held in Melbourne in November.
