Water is Life
Open to all countries for students studying fine arts, design, communication design and architecture, the 2011 Water is Life international poster competition received a total of 4862 entries from 83 countries. When the entry was closed on December 31, 2010 and winners announced in March, Ng Sie Yen was pleasantly surprised to find out that her entry was selected as one of the top 100 posters and was published in a book with the aim to demonstrate that the younger generations are prepared to bear their share of the responsibility for our world. More importantly, it was to publicize the message that "Water is Life" to a broad public by means of worldwide exhibitions. She also received a certificate.
As Sie Yen's supervisor, I was glad that the competition provided an opportunity for Sie Yen to showcase her creativity and drawing skills to the world on a global scale. The organizer of the competition was the German Sanitation, Heating and Air Conditioning Association (ZVSHK) in collaboration with Professor Heinz-Jurgen Kristahn from the Berlin University of the Arts and Professor Lieyan Wu, Rector of the Nanjing Arts Institute, China.
