Celebrate the fantastic Stockholm Junior Water Prize winners
The 24th of August is a very special day – today the winner of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize is announced at a both fun and festive online award ceremony with H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden who is Patron of the prize. Join us to celebrate this year’s winners as well as the Prize itself which is awarded for the 25th time.
The Stockholm Junior Water Prize’s Award Ceremony takes place Tuesday 24 August at 2pm CEST. To follow it, you must be registered to the digital conference World Water Week (23-27 August) – here you can sign up for free.
The Stockholm Junior Water Prize is an international competition for innovators between 15 and 20 years of age who have developed solutions to major water challenges. Many of the projects that compete in the contest are put to use and can change the lives of both the inventors and their communities.
The 2021 winner is selected by a jury of distinguished water experts who also award a Diploma of Excellence among the 32 competing teams from all over the world. During the award ceremony, the Prize’s Patron H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden will announce the winner. We will also learn who won receives this year’s People’s Choice Award. So tune in at 2pm CEST!
