An award is being offered to local communities in Kildare who look after their waters.
The Waters and Communities Office, a new board set up last year to look after Ireland's waters, is offering the award.
Communities who are taking positive steps towards raising awareness and showing appreciation of their local rivers, lakes, streams, canals, coast and ground water, should apply.
The prize funds include: four regional award winners: €1,000 each, four regional runner-up award winners: €500 each, and there will also be an additional prize of €1,000 for the overall winner of the four regions.
