Adopting this year’s WED theme, the competition aims to raise awareness about water conservation and management and share experience between developed and developing countries. This year’s theme must be interpreted in the entries, in the form of poems, paintings or drawings, still photos or short essays drawn from real day-to-day experience of water management in schools, communities and homes.
Illustrations of traditional folklore and indigenous methods for conservation, collection and purification of water and practical solutions to water scarcity, poor water quality and resource conflict are also encouraged.
A selection of best entries will be exhibited for WED in Bangkok, Thailand, and will be considered for publication in UNEP’s educational booklet. Prizes for the best three entries will be given directly by UNEP/ROAP.
The 1st prize winner will receive round trip air tickets to Bangkok for two, hotel accommodation and living allowance for the duration of their stay. The second and third prize winners will each received a certificate.
Entries must be sent directly to the person address below UNEP/ROAP on or before May 5, 2003.
