The Global Network of Water Museums is pleased to announce the winners and special mentions of the second edition of The Water We Want (2021). The COVID pandemic did not stop the brave students, teachers and schools that decided to participate to the contest and sent even this year, despite global restrictions, thousands of beautiful artworks.
Among drawings, videos, photos, songs and other works, all entries submitted to the competition by 6-18 years old youth were selected by 23 water museums affiliated to the Global Network. The 89 pre-selected works are now featured in the online Digital Exhibition 2021.
A heartfelt thanks to all the students and the teachers that took part in The Water We Want 2021 with such beautiful works and to all WAMU-NET members who facilitated and promoted this initiative worldwide. Congratulations to the winners!
