Coastal America Art Contest

NOAA's partner, Coastal America through their Coastal Ecosystem Learning Center (CELC) members are sponsoring an ocean art contest open to students in grades K-12 and college and university students.
The contest is nationwide, and for the Mid-Atlantic Region, the National Aquarium in
DC and the National Aquarium in Baltimore are accepting entries. For other areas of the country, please refer to the CELC near you which can be found at: www.coastalamerica.gov.

The purpose of the contest is to enhance public awareness of the
importance of the ocean through visual expression and incorporating one
of the principles of ocean literacy.

The winning artwork will be displayed at the Smithsonian's National
Museum of Natural History in time for the opening of The Ocean Hall. You
and your children or local schools or organizations can be a part of
this contest. Find out how at:
