Submissions are now open for the Dawn Project Competition, an opportunity for individuals to showcase their creativity and share their perspectives on the theme: “Oceans of Opportunity: Preserving Today for Tomorrow”.
Contestants are encouraged to use their imagination and create entries that can be in various forms such as essays/poetry, graphic design and music. This means that the competition is open to all types of creative minds, regardless of their preferred medium or artistic style.
The theme “”Oceans of Opportunity: Preserving Today for Tomorrow” conveys the idea that the oceans hold incredible potential and opportunities. Oceans play an essential role in the fight against climate change and the creation of a sustainable future but it’s the responsibility to preserve them for future generations. Oceans are a cornerstone of the Earth’s climate system, serving as major carbon sinks and heat absorbers, thus helping regulate global temperatures. This theme serves as a reminder of the positive impact ocean conservation can have on the environment and society.
The competition encourages participants to think creatively and holistically about how oceans can be managed sustainably while tackling climate change.
Successful entries will offer actionable and innovative solutions that balance the needs of the present with the preservation of the oceans for future generations.
The competition is a platform for contestants to express themselves and communicate their ideas to a wider audience. It provides an opportunity for participants to showcase their skills and creativity while addressing a pressing issue that affects all.
