Water – The source of life
Water, both for humans and for all other living things on the planet, represents a resource without which life would not be possible. We cannot express in words what the planet would look like if there was no more water, and this drawing shows in small lines the beauty that exists on Earth because of water, and also how “a drop” of water can save many lives, although people remain speechless in front of the gifts that water continues to give to the earth. The drop of water around our planet present in the drawing represents the protection and care that water offers us, surrounding the earth as a kind of protective layer, which does not let the earth perish with the passage of time. The fir trees suggest the true beauty of nature, which is vividly colored in shades of green, a special beauty that could not be present if water did not help nature. The faucet presents a source of water that feeds all the gifts of nature and not just the needs of man, being a “spring” interpreted in the form of a power source present in the homes of all people, highlighting the fact that life on Earth exists because of water, because water is the source of life, only a drop of water can make the difference between life and death.
In each edition of the competition, registration was carried out through the schools, teachers and teachers, so as to ensure the conditions for the protection of children and their personal data.
