Ocean Awareness Student Art Contest 2019

Description

Climate change is the biggest issue of your lifetime. Your whole life will be lived as the impacts of global climate change are taking place. Our Contest is a call for young artists, thinkers, and activists who are concerned about the future of our human and natural communities to use their creative voices to explore, express, and advocate for issues related to climate change and our oceans.

Organised by From the Bow Seat, this year's contest asks you to explore the theme "Presence of Future", and call for young artists, thinkers, and activists who are concerned about the future of our human and natural communities to use their creative voices to explore, express, and advocate for issues related to climate change and our oceans.

There are five categories:

• Visual Art
• Poetry
• Prose
• Film
• Music

This is an international Contest and is open to students in middle school or high
school (or the homeschool equivalent) worldwide. Proof of age, identity, or
eligibility may be required.

• Students age 11-14 may enter the Junior Division. Students age 15-18 may enter
the Senior Division. Please enter the age division based on your age at the time of
entry.

• Participants under the age of 13 must have a parent or legal guardian complete a
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Parent/Guardian Consent Form

person for the group. All of the names of the group members must be listed in
the submission. Award money will be split among the group members.

• Any student may submit (i.e., have their name included in) only one entry per
category. Therefore, a student may have a maximum of five different
submissions, one in each category.
