CYBA Designer Water Competition
Share your passion for the environment and enter the CYBA Designer Water Competition. Contest date – 30 September, 2025. Join us in this fun contest to create a “Designer Water” from the water made by your water maker, showcasing an eco-friendly solution you have onboard.
The purpose of the contest is to highlight the great taste of water produced on board the yachts, showing the creativity of the yacht chefs/stews, and demonstrating easy ways to eliminate the plastic water bottle waste on yachts. It’s easy to do and fun. Think of serving all the brokers this way instead of handing them a plastic bottle.
The deadline for entry is September 28th. To learn more about the contest rules and how to apply, please see the link below—we look forward to seeing your creativity at this year’s competition!
