The Ocean Awareness Student Contest

We invite middle and high school students from around the world to attend the 2017 Ocean Awareness Student Contest! The theme is Making Meaning out of Ocean Pollution, and it challenges you to research, explore, interpret, and say something meaningful about the connections between human activities and the health of our oceans.

This year, we challenge you to concentrate on one type of ocean pollution and “make meaning” of it through art, poetry or film. We encourage you to connect it with your own life, your own local community, or something else that is personally meaningful to you, but what’s most important is to pick a topic that inspires you.

To take part

(1) Research

Do research on your own. Ask tough and complex questions, and think about the way science and society help you explain the topic.

(2)Create

To explain your topic, create your own work of art, writing, poetry or film.
