“A picture is worth a thousand words,” and Instagrammers who took part in Hansgrohe’s “For the Love of Water” contest illustrated their thoughts with more than 9,500 submittals. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the U.S. Clean Water Act, the contest invited users of the photo-sharing platform to follow @HansgroheUSA on Instagram and tag their best water related images with #fortheloveofwater.
Four contestants received a Polaroid Z2300 instant digital camera.The winners were recognized for their outstanding depiction of how important water is in their lives. The winners are “@goldymundo88” for the picture of the September 11th memorial fountain; “@srhmrtnz” for the photo of a young boy happily drinking from a water hose; “@alijardine” for the rendering of seagulls flying over water at dusk, and “@sanarrgh” for a serene beach scene.
Hansgrohe used the “For the Love of Water” contest to serve as a fun, creative reminder to conserve and protect a resource that is so essential. Last month, Hansgrohe illustrated its ongoing efforts in water preservation by giving $5,000 each to the nonprofit Riverkeeper organizations for the Atlanta region and New York City area. The donations will help protect the environmental, recreational and commercial integrity of the Chattahoochee and Hudson rivers, which are located in the backyards of Hansgrohe’s North American headquarters and its designer brand studio, Axor NYC, respectively.
