To help promote July as Smart Irrigation Month, the Irrigation Association is asking green industry professionals to create a short video, 60 seconds or less, about why smart irrigation is important to them. Videos should then be posted on social media using #SmartIrrigationMonth. All posted videos will be entered for a chance to win Irrigation Association store credit that can be used for free registration to the Irrigation Show or an IA class.

"This contest is a great way to spread awareness about the benefits of smart irrigation during Smart Irrigation Month this July," the association stated. "With your help, we hope to get the public talking about efficient irrigation throughout the month."

Other ways to promote the event are to share the IA's social media posts, speak to your local news station about airing a segment on smart irrigation and implement all the techniques the association promotes in your own household.

The deadline to submit your 60-second or less video is Saturday, June 30. All the contest rules can be found here. (https://www.irrigation.org/IA/Resources/Smart_Irrigation_Month_Video_Contest.aspx)
