Artists and ocean-lovers, ages 13 and up, get the chance to win Artist Boat’s Marine Debris Art Contest for prize money and have their art displayed in a professional art gallery. Art pieces are comprised primarily of marine debris and must demonstrate the effects aquatic trash can have on our ocean and the life that depends on it. Our panel of volunteer judges will view all submissions to determine prize placements and display pieces.
