Science without Borders® Challenge 2018

Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation’s Science without Borders® Challenge is an international art competition that engages students to promote the need to preserve, protect, and restore the world’s oceans and aquatic resources.

The theme for the 2018 Science without Borders® Challenge is “Why Coral Reefs Matter.” 

For this year’s Challenge, use your imagination to create a piece of art that illustrates a made-up Reef SuperSpecies. A Reef SuperSpecies is an organism (plant or animal) that has found a way to adapt to a deadly threat facing coral reef ecosystems. You can make up an organism or base your organism off of an already existing reef organism.

The deadline is Monday, April 3, 208 by 11:59 pm (Eastern Standard Time).
