Improve water quality, ensure its proper use through improved management,  
 protect water resources and treat wastewater: the Stockholm Junior Water  
 Prize (SJWP) has been established as the direct descendant of its elder,  
 the Stockholm Water Prize, to reward concrete actions taken by young  
 people in the area of water conservation. Established in 1994, this award  
 is now held in some thirty countries worldwide. Countries as varied as  
 Japan and Cameroon submit candidates.  
 Since 2004, the French selection has been handled by the FEEE (French  
 Foundation for Environment Education in Europe). In France, the competition  
 is open to juniors aged between 12 and 21. They must submit a written  
 and illustrated proposal setting out concrete actions. Once they have  
 met this condition, individual or group submissions, and school or extra-curricular  
 projects are accepted. The French panel is made up of specialists from  
 the water, environmental protection and research sectors. For example,  
 it includes, the International Office for Water, the magazine Hydroplus,  
 and Ademe (French Agency for Environment and Energy Management). The  
 aim of this competition to get industry to work with institutionals and  
 the education sector on an educational project.

## Create synergy for water issues

The ultimate aim of the international  
 competition, the Stockholm Junior Water Prize is awarded each year in  
 August by Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. However,  
 before getting the French candidates through to this final stage, the  
 FEEE organizing body must call for project submissions, collect and process  
 submissions and also provide the prize money for the French awards (3  
 x 1,000 euros). It is also responsible for organizing regional events  
 and travel to Sweden for the winners and their accompanying adults. In  
 all, the forecast budget is 70,000 euros. The Veolia Foundation  
 has committed to providing 10,000 euros for 2006. The 2006 French selection  
 has been open since September 15, last.
