All works were warmly received and appreciated by the parent committees, school teachers and jury members. The winners in each nomination received diplomas and valuable gifts. The work of students who did not receive a place in the competition was not left without attention, but the jury members felt that they should be rewarded. For them, additional funds were found by partners of the Aarhus Center represented by the Global Water Partnership of Kyrgyzstan and the Water Resources Service under the Ministry of Agriculture.
