Cast your vote for the finalists in the water naming contest >
Voting open through December 5th, 2008
 

Background

Water is an essential resource for Milwaukee. For years, it's been an important source for recreation, transportation and quenching thirst, but increasingly, our region is recognizing that the future of our region, in terms of research, economic development and education.

To celebrate this resource, the Milwaukee Press Club is producing a limited supply of commemorative bottled water that will be available to party attendees and to Press Club members throughout the year. We will be "tapping" members and party attendees to participate in this year’s contest to help the Press Club brand this invaluable resource by developing a name and tagline for the bottled water that reflects the importance of fresh water to our region.

How It Works

1. Put your thinking caps on and develop a name and tagline for the limited supply of Press Club bottled water. It could be something fun like "Cream City Clear – the cream of the crop" or something reflective of the potential water holds for our region, like "Wave of the Future – bottled at Milwaukee's well of knowledge".
2. Submit your name and tagline suggestion using the form below, through November 24th.
3. Visit the site again after December 1 to vote for your favorite name and tagline.
4. Attend the City of Milwaukee Birthday Party on January 27, 2009 at Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin and pick up your complementary six-pack of bottled water to learn the final "brand." The winning submitter will be recognized at the program, as well as in the Press Club's Once a Year Magazine.
