The purpose of this contest is to encourage children and teenagers, citizens of a country within the Danube river basin, to pay more attention to the watercourse in their area, reflect on environmental issues, and thus create original artistic works to promote the Danube region.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duration:<\/strong> The project has been running annually since 2004 and continues to this day, with a new edition organized every year (e.g. Danube Art Master 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding mechanism:<\/strong> The project is supported through partnerships and institutional cooperation, primarily between the Global Water Partnership Central and Eastern Europe (GWP CEE) and the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR). In recent editions, private-sector partners (e.g. Erste Group) have also contributed to supporting environmental education activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Status:<\/strong> Ongoing project<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danube Art Master is an international environmental art competition for children and young people aged 6\u201318 from countries in the Danube River Basin. Participants are encouraged to visit their local river (ideally the Danube or one of its tributaries) and create artistic works such as drawings, photographs, or videos inspired by the river and its surroundings. The project raises awareness of water protection, biodiversity, and environmental responsibility through creative expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
