2021 Theme | WATER RISING
A CREATIVE CHALLENGE FOR TEENS WORLDWIDE

The 10th annual Ocean Awareness Contest is a platform for young people to learn about environmental issues through art-making and creative communication, explore their relationship to a changing world, and become advocates for positive change. Students ages 11-18 from around the world are invited to participate.

The ocean regulates global climate, produces more than half of the oxygen we breathe, and holds nearly 97% of Earth’s water. Global ocean systems largely influence life on land, even hundreds of miles from a coastline. Salt, fresh, warm, or cold, all water is connected through the water cycle.

We live on a water planet.

The 2021 Ocean Awareness Contest theme WATER RISING challenges students to explore and understand their connection to water, and to creatively communicate the need to protect this vital resource and life-sustaining relationship. What are the stories we need to tell about water to sustain and conserve it for current and future generations of life on Earth?

CONTEST DEADLINE: JUNE 14, 2021

How to Enter

Submissions are accepted in:

  • Visual Art

We All Rise Prize

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ARTIST JASON TALBOT

This year, to better fulfill our mission, Bow Seat is making a greater investment in emerging creators of color by sponsoring the We All Rise Prize, with awards totaling $15,000 specifically for youth in the U.S. who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, or Latina/o/e.

Ten $750 awards in both the Junior Division (ages 11-14) and Senior Division (ages 15-18)—a total of 20 awards—will be offered to students in the U.S. who identify as Black, Indigenous, or Latina/o/e in the 2021 Ocean Awareness Contest, and whose entries demonstrate notable artistic achievement in their chosen category. Cash awards are not restricted and can be used for tuition, art supplies, or personal expenses.

Voice of the Sea Award

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH POET/ACTIVIST/EDUCATOR TAYLLOR JOHNSON

As the Ocean Awareness Contest has grown over the years, young artists have continued to push the boundaries of our categories in ways that have intrigued and moved us. The new Voice of the Sea Award was inspired by receiving a growing number of spoken word poems—pieces that truly came alive through performance. To celebrate this powerful mode of expression, Bow Seat is recognizing two spoken word poetry submissions with Voice of the Sea Awards at the Gold-level in each age division: one $1,000 award for a Junior submission, and one $1,500 award for a Senior submission. Entries must follow the requirements for submitting in the Poetry & Spoken Word category.

Bay State Award (Massachusetts students only)

Educators can nominate themselves or a colleague.
