Stockholm Junior Water Prize


The Senior Division (Grades 9-12) Clean Water Award winners are eligible to participate in another youth award competition for water science research projects: the Illinois Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP). The Illinois SJWP winner will compete with other State winners in a National competition. Transportation and all local expenses will be provided for the winner and teacher sponsor to compete at the National competition. 

More SJWP information is available on the Water Environment Federation website.

Please join us in congratulating our 2025 nominees, William Grzeslik and Aver Edwards. These Wheeling High School seniors from the school’s Honors Nanotechnology class took the IWEA Senior Clean Water Award this year at the Illinois Junior Academy of Science (IJAS). Will (pictured) presented their research paper and poster entitled “Efficiency of Biochar as an Fe (iron) Filter” at the State Farm Center. The project, among many in the Environment Science group, was outstanding based on the depth of study and practical nature of the research for the water environment.

As our senior Clean Water award winner, Will went to the national Stockholm Junior Water Prize competition in St. Louis in June representing both students.

Congratulations to Illinois Stockholm Junior Water Prize nominated students.
