An environmental drawing competition “Let’s protect rivers and seas!” was held during February-April 2020 within the project “Waste Free Rivers for a Clean Black Sea” by the project partner Imereti Scientists’ Union “Spectri”. Many schoolchildren from Georgia joined the competition, with up to 50 drawings entering the last round of this competition.
The Jury appointed within the framework of the competition selected the finest drawings created around the topic of rivers and seas protection, and waste recycling. Further, the Internet users named their favourite drawing, which was selected with the majority of votes – 399.
Below are the most voted drawings. Through the eyes of children, the present condition of rivers and sea seek involvement and effective actions. Their vision, aspiration and creativity can be inspirational to all of us.
