The International Rainwater Harvesting Alliance (IRHA) is pleased to announce the fourth edition of its international competition: Raindrops Geneva Award 2013.

For this edition of Raindrops Geneva Award, the IRHA is looking to award posters that best show the uses and/or benefits of rainwater harvesting. Posters can cover any aspect of rainwater harvesting, for example: domestic use, groundwater recharge, agriculture, or risk reduction. The artist should keep in mind that the aim of the competition is to make the general public aware that rainwater can be (and is!) an essential resource.

The three best posters will be awarded prizes as follows:

• First place will be awarded CHF 1000
• Second place will be awarded CHF 600
• Third place will receive CHF 400

The competition is now open! Before submitting your poster, please visit the IRHA website to read the Rules of the Competition and to download the Entry Form. You can also email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.

The deadline for submission is the 31st October 2013 at 12.00 p.m. (midnight) Greenwich Mean Time, and the winner posters will be announced in November 2013.

Good luck and we looking forward to receiving your posters!
