Årsmøde 2021
Søndag 13 juni 2021 afholdtes årsmødet online for andet år i træk. Styrelsen gennemgik regnskaber og beretninger for 2020, som jo havde båret præg af pandemien. Henvendelser fra et medlem blev behandlet og de styrelsesmedlemmer, der var på valg i år blev genvalgt. Björn Bernström udgik af Valberedningen og blev erstattet af Anders Högberg.

Til slut blev årets Winsor & Newton Pris tildelt til Ludvig Sjödin. Ud over diplomet og hæderen får prismodtageren mulighed for at vælge akvarelmaterialer fra Winsor & Newton til en værdi af 1.000 euro, sponseret af Winsor & Newton. Prismotiveringen lyder: Priset tilldelas Ludvig Sjödin för ett rättframt realistiskt akvarellmåleri som hyllar vardagens poesi där ljusreflexerna i en burk inlagd gurka skildas med samma uppmärksamhet som föremålen i ett barockstilleben.
Annual Meeting 2021
On Sunday 13th of June the Nordic Watercolour Society held the annual meeting – online for the second year in a row due to restrictions caused by the pandemic. The board went through the accounts and reports from 2020, a year that, of course, was marked by the pandemic. Issues from a member were addressed and those board members who were up for election were re-elected. Björn Bernström left the Election Committee and was replaced by Anders Högberg. Minutes from the meeting may be found here (in Swedish).
Finally the Winsor & Newton Prize 2021 was awarded to Ludvig Sjödin (see article in akvarellen 1-2021). Besides the certificate and the honour, the winner is granted the possibility to select Winsor & Newton materials at a value of 1.000 euro, sponsored by Winsor & Newton. The motivation is as follows: The prize is awarded to Ludvig Sjödin for a straightforward realistic painting style in which he celebrates the poetry of everyday life where reflections in a jar of pickled cucumber are rendered the same attention as objects in a baroque still life painting
