Water savers to be recognised in the 2010 savewater! awards

Water savers from around Australia and internationally are being called to enter the national 2010 savewater! awards to be acknowledged for their conservation achievements.

Now in their eighth year, the savewater! awards have emerged as the leading water sustainability awards in Australia, recognising and rewarding excellence in water conservation and efficiency by business, government, schools, local communities and individuals.

The seven award categories are:

• Australian achiever
• Business
• Community groups
• Educational institutions
• Government
• Product innovations (open internationally)
• Photographic award (open internationally)

Winning a savewater! award has helped many individuals and organisations spread the water conservation message, often providing them with media exposure and funding opportunities as a result.

CEO of the savewater! Alliance Nigel Finney says, “Many businesses, community groups, government departments and individuals are implementing world-leading water-saving initiatives and these awards provide an avenue for them to be acknowledged and rewarded for their efforts.”

Entries for the 2010 awards program open at 9.00 am (AEST) on Monday 17 May and close at 5.00 pm (AEST) on Monday 9 August 2010.

Winners will be announced at a gala ceremony in Sydney on Friday 12 November 2010.
