Almost a quarter of a million people have now signed up!

We need to make sure we capture your photos and stories from your Walks for Water and Sanitation! And, like last year, we are again running an exciting photo competition for you all!

This year, we are making a film about the World Walks for Water and Sanitation to show world leaders that hundreds of thousands of people want them to attend the Sanitation and Water for All High Level Meeting in Washington D.C! Once there, we want to let them know that we are watching and expect them to make firm commitments to ensure they get taps and toilets to the world's poorest communities.

As you know, the SWA High-Level Meeting takes place only a month after World Water Day so we will be making the film very quickly! If you want photos of your walk to appear in the film, please do send them by 27th March!

Send your photos to our flickr page!

How to do it!
1) Attach your photos to an email, put the location of your event and your organisation in the subject line, add a short description of the walk in the text body.
2) Send to [email protected] Your photos will automatically appear in our photostream. This can be done using your computer or your smartphone!

All photographs sent to us will be entered in to the World Walks for Water and Sanitation photo competition! The categories are:
1. Largest amount of people in a photo
2. Most unusual location
3. Best slogan featured in a photo
4. Best lobbying of a politician in a photo
5. Most artistic photo
6. Most colourful photo
7. Most inspiring photo

Winners will have their photos featured on our website, in our publications and on our facebook page - and will also receive a certificate and some goodies!

We are very excited about seeing your photos!

Natasha Horsfield is the Campaigns and Communications intern at End Water Poverty. Here she blogs about our new Country Snapshots available now for the World Walks for Water and Sanitation.

The World Walks for Water and Sanitation is fast approaching and we have a whole set of new and up to date country snapshots available to help you tailor your national demands for the campaign!

These brilliant new resources give you all the key information you need about the water and sanitation crisis in your country, as well as key asks and key decision makers to target to help you shape what you are calling for at your World Walks for Water and Sanitation event; particularly in the build up to the Sanitation and Water for All High Level Meeting in April 2012!

Use the information in your country snapshot alongside specific issues you wish to highlight at your event and make your national decision makers take notice at this year’s World Walks for Water and Sanitation!
