Join us for the Eleventh Annual Model Water Tower Competition in the Tidewater area. The challenge is to build a structurally efficient model water tower that holds water and can be filled and drained quickly, while also being aesthetically pleasing. Middle school students from public, private, or home schools can compete in teams of up to four students each.
The objective of the competition is to make participants aware of the importance of reliable drinking water and the rewarding opportunities available in the water profession.  The competition achieves this by having students develop an idea into a functioning water tower, just like water professionals do in the real world!  Prizes will be awarded to the top three scoring teams, with a top prize of a $75 Visa gift card for each member of the first place team, $50 gift card for each member of the second place team, and $25 gift card for each member of the third place team. 
 
To register, please email Mark Titcomb at mtitcomb@nnva.gov with the team name, students’ names, and contact email and phone number for each team entering the competition.  Only the first 30 registered teams will be accepted.  There will be a limit of no more than 5 teams per school.  This competition is organized by the Virginia Section AWWA | VWEA Student Activities Committee.
 
If interested in volunteering as a judge, please contact the event organizers.
