Festive Ocean Art Card Competition Entry

Calling all ocean-inspired artists!
We’re launching our festive Ocean Art Card Competition – and we’d love YOU to take part!

From doodles to digital designs, painting to collage, every style is welcome. This year, we’re inviting you to dive into the wonders of our science – celebrating ocean biology, the hidden marine microbiome, and the beauty of coastal ecology. From kelp to crayfish to killer whales, we’re looking for artwork that captures the wonder of the incredible world beneath the waves.

The winning design will feature on our special seasonal card, sharing the magic of the coast and open ocean far and wide.

All ages are welcome to enter – so grab your pencils, paints, or pixels and let your creative imagination swim wild and free! Deadline 31 October 2025.
