Congratulation to the winners of the 7th Edition (2026) of the Youth Prize Contest, 💧🏆💧 (TWWW)💧🏆💧!

Today we would like to feature the winning drawing for the age category 10-12 years old by Valentina López supported by the museum 🇪🇨 Yaku Museo del Agua from Quito 🇪🇨

In the words of the artist, “ My drawing is about what could happen if we do not take care of water in our city. In Quito, there are still many underground water sources, rivers, waterfalls, and it is surrounded by a vast páramo that collects water. However, many companies and factories take this resource and then dispose of what they do not need, including chemicals and heavy metals. The industries that pollute the most include textile, mining, construction, and metallurgy from the mountains, wonderful water flows down, as clean as the water we drink; however, along its path, people contaminate it until it finally reaches the sea. In this process, thousands of aquatic animals die because of pollution. It is very important that we all become aware of the need to protect water, that companies implement better processes to manage their waste, and that people learn to love and respect nature more.”
