Congratulations 2025 Marine Debris Program Art Contest Winners

The winners of the 2025 NOAA Marine Debris Program Art Contest are in. The NOAA Marine Debris Program hosts this art contest to engage students in grades K-8 across the United States and territories in raising awareness about marine debris and using the power of art to express meaningful messages. The winning artwork is featured in a calendar, which will help to remind us every day of the importance of being responsible stewards of the ocean.

Artwork of an enlarged glass bottle full of colorful, clean sea creatures and a tag tied to the top that reads "Keep the ocean blue". The bottle is illustrated to be within a grey scaled ocean full of various marine debris items and entangled sea creatures.
