International Art Contest open to teenagers age 11-18 worldwide.

Deadline:  June 17, 2019


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.

Create a piece about a coastal/marine species, place, or system that will be threatened, altered, or lost due to climate change.
From organism to ecosystem, what are the impacts of climate change on our ocean?
