The Welsh Water Photography Bursary was established with the University of Wales, Newport in 2005/06. The bursary is designed to help photography students develop their skills for use within industry.

The brief for 2006 bursary:
We take clean safe drinking water for granted, and expect our waste to disappear without a second thought.

You don’t have to think about turning on a tap or flushing your loo because, 24 7, thousands of people employed by Dŵr Cymru and its partners are working to ensure exactly that.

Can you reveal them through photography?
Can you tell their story?

The shared winners were:
Guillermo Cheer | Zoltan Varga

Shared bursary winners for 2005:
Stuart Bailes | Dan Salter
