The “Exploring Marine Life” competition blends science and art to inspire global youth to create works on marine biodiversity.
Guided by “openness builds strength, freedom fosters insight,” it ignites passion for marine conservation, transforming youth into active contributors for sustainable ocean development. Open to ages 6-18, it features Science Writing and Artwork Creation categories, with sub-themes like life origins and species conservation. Entries are judged across four age groups for fairness. Through multilingual publications and conference activities, it provides a global platform for creativity and exchange.
Aligned with the UN Ocean Decade, it boosts public understanding and ocean action. By motivating future marine scientists and policymakers, it contributes to Ocean Decade Outcomes 2, 3, and 7, strengthening intergenerational stewardship values.
