‘A Single Drop of Water’ is a photo contest organised by Statement Arts, a non-profit organisation. Designed “to celebrate, and document the journey of water” and to raise awareness about the importance of this precious resource and its scarcity in many communities, the photography competition serves two main purposes: to gather images for the curriculum of an arts based environmental awareness and education programme, and to generate revenue from the entry fees in order to help offset the programming. There are six categories including A Single Drop of Water, Water in our Daily Lives, Water Scapes, Clean Water Initiative, Under 25, Peoples’ Choice. The winning entries will be exhibited in New York City, and the winners will receive a total of $3,500 in prize money and prizes donated by Calumet. The entry fee is $25 for most adults and $15 for those aged 25 or younger. Those entering their work before 7th November will benefit from a $10 discount off the entry fee. The final submission deadline is 15th December.
