1. Throughout the summer, you shared your clean water stories. You told us about all the people that have inspired you—and why you believe their work should be celebrated as a part of our CWA Water Heroes Contest!
We collected Water Hero Nominations through August 31st, 2022.
2. Our team reviewed each nomination carefully, assessing entries based on three major criteria – Advocacy, Impact, and Ingenuity to determine our finalists.
Advocacy
Does their work mirror the values of the Clean Water Act?
Impact
What is the overall impact of their work in their community?
Ingenuity
How creative are they with the resources they have available?
3. After accepting their nomination, each finalist was interviewed and highlighted on YSI.com
4. In October, the general public votes for their favorite Water Hero. The finalist with the most votes, Brooke Klingbeil, won the Grand Prize donation of up to $10,000 to support her work. We announced her as our winner on the 50th Anniversary of the Clean Water Act, October 18th.
