The winners were chosen from 32 finalists, who had emerged from a field of more than 250 artists from more than 80 schools. Each entry was accompanied by a statement about how the artist’s work represented the value of water or the threats that water faces in today’s world.
The winners’ works will be displayed over the next year in a number of venues, including the Minnesota state Capitol.
