AfWA CONGRESS & EXHIBITION 2016 LOGO DESIGN COMPETITION WINNERS

The African Water Association AfWA, inconjunction with Nairobi Water & Sewerage Company Ltd will be hosting the 18^th AfWA Congress & Exhibition in Nairobi in February 2016 at the KICC. This event is a biannual event and the four days international event which will host over 1500 delegates. This forum will change the way things are done in Nairobi city county as the guests will largely contribute to our Tourism development agenda, bring in foreign currency, as well as discuss the theme ‘Sustainable Access to Water & Sanitation in Africa’ in the water sector.

In preparation to this, the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) decided to have a national logo competition in order to include public participation as well as bring visibility to this noble international congress. A legal document was developed with conditions and participation rules and was certified by NCWS Legal office.

We engaged the public through a media campaign in radios (KISS, CLASSIC FM & CAPITAL FM & print media DAILY NATION) as well as on popular social media sites

Out of the above campaign, we believe we reached over 20,000 Kenyans going by the hits & views as well as responses sent to us via email & via the media stations we used.

The LOC was satisfied with the progress which kicked off on January 19^th 2015 & ended on January 31^st 2015. Competition closed on this date which saw about 428 submissions, of which a couple of them were repetitions/improvements of initial submissions.

Out of these, LOC as part of the logo design selection panel shortlisted the designs to 20 best, then to 6 best and finally to 3 best designs which we have attached herein.

The three finalists were this morning awarded at a ceremony that was graced by the M.D NCWS Eng. Philip Gichuki, staff as well as Directors & LOC. Winners awarded cash prizes are as follows;
