Grant Description
Contest with prizes of up to $1,500 for USA, Canada, and International students to create projects that teach about climate change and its effects on oceans. The purpose of the contest is to engage students aged 11-18 to creatively represent climate change issues. Submissions are accepted in a range of artistic formats.

The 2023 Ocean Awareness Contest – Climate Heroes in Action – encourages students to learn about both climate change and solutions to the climate crisis. We want to celebrate the work of countless everyday heroes fighting to make the world more habitable and just in the face of human-induced climate change. These heroes are leading with determination, resolve, and even joy to create a better world for us all.

Students may submit one entry per category, meaning that you may enter up to six pieces, one in each category. Submissions are accepted in:

  • Art
  • Creative Writing
  • Film
  • Interactive & Multimedia
  • Performing Arts: Music & Dance
  • Poetry & Spoken Word

For additional information on the above, see How to Enter, in Pre-Application Information, below.
