Bratislava\/Sarajevo, 21 September 2015. Iman Malji\u0107 from Bosnia and Herzegovina has won the \u201cInternational Danube Art Master 2015\u201d competition. The winning art work \u201cBlack Swan\u201d was chosen from over 600 submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlack Swan\u201d, a melancholic arrangement with plastic waste bags and contrast to a living, white swan, was created by Iman Malji\u0107 of Aleksa Santic School in Sarajevo. It out-competed 611 other artworks from 190 individual schools, involving 1314 children in 11 countries of the Danube River Basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second place was given to \u201cDisappointed fisherman\u201d by Ionela Chercheja of Mihai Eminescu Lyceum in Ghindesti, Moldova. The artwork \u201cDanube – the history living with us\u201d by Bal\u00e1zs Bokor, Krist\u00f3f B\u00f6rzsei and Bogl\u00e1rka Kov\u00e1cs of L\u00e9b\u00e9nyi \u00e1ltal\u00e1nos iskola \u00e9s AMI in L\u00e9b\u00e9ny, Hungary, won the third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s Danube Art Master competition came with a special twist: while the young artists participating were still working outdoor with materials found at local rivers and lakes, they were called to build costumes and outfits from them. Photographs taken of the \u201cDanube Masquerade\u201d were then submitted to the international jury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Danube Art Master is a popular competition organised annually by the ICPDR with support from the \u201cGreen Danube Partnership\u201d from the Coca-Cola System through Global Water Partnership Central and Eastern Europe. Held since 2004, it is popular among young artists from throughout the Danube River Basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
