The river, the city and me
Interlace project photo and painting competition launched
The cities of Chemnitz (Germany), Portoviejo (Ecuador), Envigado (Colombia) and the metropolitan region of San José (Costa Rica) are organising a joint photo and drawing competition for children and young people aged between 7 and 17. Until the end of October, young people are invited to submit their own pictures and drawings under the motto "The river, the city and me", which depict their connection to the river and the surroundings of their city. The best entries will be honoured by an international jury consisting of nature experts and a photographer.
With the "The river, the city and me" photo and drawing competition for children and young people, the Interlace project aims to take a closer look at rivers and nature in cities. How and where does the river have a benefit in the city? How and where is it a threat to people? And how do people threaten the river? What effects can be observed from human activities and rivers in cities? Creativity is required. The children and young people should come up with a suitable story: What is the name of the artwork? What story does it tell? What story does the river tell?
Further information on the conditions of participation and the competition process can be found here. The drawings can be uploaded directly there.
