We know it takes us a while to decide the winners.  That’s because we are personally committed to looking deeply at each work of art, writing, poetry, or film you create.

We also bring on judges who are experts in their field, and who have a life long passion of combining ocean science and creative expression.

Want to meet some of them?

This week, meet Peter Stone.
