Competition

Get active for the rivers!

 

Get involved in Danube Day and help secure a positive future for the Danube, as well as win great prizes in this Danube-wide competition. Following the huge response to last year’s ‘Danube Art Master’ competition, Global Water Partnership Central and Eastern Europe is launching another creative extravaganza for 2011.

Every child and school in the Danube Basin is invited to create a piece of art celebrating the Danube environment and enter it into this international contest. Here is your chance to become the ‘Danube Art Master 2011!’

This ambitious 14-country competition unites children across the region. Last year over 2500 pupils took up the artistic challenge: the huge diversity of artworks created was a true reflection of the richness of the Danube Basin.

Competition Details
The challenge for every pupil aged 12 to 16 is to create their own ‘environmental art’ inspired by the mighty Danube and its tributaries. Jointly organised by the Global Water Partnership Central and Eastern Europe (GWP CEE) and the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR), the competition encourages children to visit their local rivers and consider what the environment means to them. In line with the aims of Danube Day, the competition motivates children to think about a vision for the Danube that would meet the needs of its diverse multi-national people and wildlife. It can also parallel a scientific study of the river’s geography, chemistry and ecology.

By entering, students will learn about the basin and can play a role in its protection. There are also some great prizes!

The competition is a key element of Danube Day 2011, emphasising the central theme of the complexity of Danube Rivers and their connection to land, animals, forests and people: Get active for the rivers!

The competition will comprise two levels: national and international. The former will be carried out in each country and national winners selected to receive prizes. The winners will be invited to take part in the international competition that will be held in Budapest on 23-25 September 2011, where they will be able to take part in an exciting programme.
