Over thirty countries host a national competition, with the winners of each going on to compete at the overall international Stockholm Junior Water Prize, held during the World Water Week in Stockholm on 5th to 11th September 2010. Each finalist is interviewed by a jury of international water experts, with H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden formally presenting the prize to the winning team.
