World Oceans Day is quickly approaching! To celebrate, we are holding an ocean-inspired t-shirt contest.
Participants can submit up to three original images or designs for a chance to get their creation published as a CORAL t-shirt and sold in our store. Send your designs to communications@coral.org from now until May 31, 11:59 EST. All t-shirt sales will contribute to coral reef conservation, benefiting both marine animals and the communities that are reliant on them.
Steps to Enter
Create a design inspired by the ocean! All ages are encouraged to participate.
Send your design to communications@coral.org. Include your name and an image of your design. A scanned PNG or JPG image is best.
The winning design will be selected by a panel of judges. The winner will have their design printed on a CORAL t-shirt.
Judging Criteria
Feel free to make your design as abstract or as realistic as you’d like! Our panel of judges will pick the winning design based on: 1) Creativity and overall design 2) Connection to the ocean. (Bonus points for anyone who shows a connection to coral reefs!)
