🌊 The 2026 Ocean Awareness Contest has officially closed! This year we received a record breaking 7,352 submissions from young artists around the world. To every student who shared their creativity, passion, and vision for the ocean: thank you. Over the coming months, our selected judges will review thousands of inspiring works as we prepare to announce this year’s winners in the fall. Until then, we celebrate every participant, who chose to use their creativity to advocate for a healthier ocean. 💙 Thank you for making this our biggest Ocean Awareness Contest yet. #BowSeat #OceanAwarenessContest #artivism #youth #ocean
