Marine Debris Art Contest 2019!

As part of Artist Boat's free World Oceans Day Festival in Galveston on June 8th, we are highlighting the theme of “Plastic Pollution Prevention” with an art contest designed to help educate and inspire visitors.

Artwork may be submitted between May 28th and June 7th prior to the World Oceans Day Festival.

World Oceans Day is June 8th and is an international day of ocean celebration and action.

Plastics and other types of trash are one of the greatest threats facing our oceans. We are inviting artists and ocean-lovers of all ages to create masterpieces out of aquatic trash to highlight this problem. Submissions may be created using the medium of your choice but should heavily utilize marine debris in their composition.

Join us at Stewart Beach to celebrate the seas: explore the human connection to the ocean with hands-on activities provided by partner organizations, enjoy live music, view submissions in our Marine Debris Art Contest, and more! The Festival is fun for ocean-lovers of all ages!


Open to ocean-lovers of all ages. Artists may use the medium of their choice. Artwork should consist primarily of non-glass debris that could otherwise end up in our oceans. If Galveston receives Sargassum this year, that material may also be used to showcase the benefits of Sargassum. Artwork should not exceed 3’H x 3’L x 3’W. Artwork will be displayed and judged at the World Oceans Day Festival at the Stewart Beach Pavilion.

No entry fee

Prizes will be awarded to the 1st place entries in the following age categories: 5-11yrs, 12-18yrs, and over 18yrs.
