Winner selection
At national level, the artworks and videos will be judged by the national organisers. National prizes vary from country to country, and participants are encouraged to contact their country’s organiser for details. At international level, the national winners’ artworks and videos will be judged by an international jury, which is composed of the national representatives of all IPCDR countries (one per country). For the judging, text or other hints on the national origin of the artwork will be blanked out to allow a neutral assessment. The judges’ decision is final. The creator(s) of the best international artwork will be crowned ‘Danube Art Master’ and will be rewarded with a motivating prize such as a professional camera and other water-related treats. The international winner(s) will be notified by e-mail.
