The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Wed, 03/23/2011

The short Indonesian film Save Water grabbed the Grand Prize at the Asia Development Bank (ADB)-sponsored "My View H2O" video competition recently.

“Save Water wins not only because of its good directing and shooting, but also because it contains a strong, packed message conveyed simply and humorously, resulting in a strong effect,” ADB external relations managing director Ann Quon said in a press statement sent to Antara on Wednesday.

Save Water, produced by Muhammad “Wawan” Zulqamar, runs for around one minute and contains no dialogue, but is able to convey how one can preserve water while bathing, the statement reads.

ADB organized the competition this year to campaign for water issues, including water crises, in Asia.
