The Ocean Awareness Student Contest is an annual art and advocacy competition that invites middle school, high school, and college students from around the world to submit creative works of art that explore critical ocean conservation issues. The contest is organized by Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Programs, a nonprofit organization that aims to inspire young people to take action to protect the ocean through education, media, and the arts. Participants in the contest can submit works in a variety of mediums, including visual art, film, music, and writing.
The theme of the Ocean Awareness Student Contest changes each year, with past themes including plastic pollution, climate change, and ocean acidification. The contest provides students with a platform to share their artistic perspectives on critical ocean issues and to raise awareness about the need for ocean conservation.
