2017 Ocean Awareness Contest Theme:
Ocean Pollution: Challenges & Solutions
Exploring topics such as plastic pollution, oil spills, runoff, and invasive species, students were invited to create work–visual art, poetry, prose, or films–to make viewers reflect on the impact of ocean pollution, inspire them to consider possible solutions, and challenge them to take action.
