ARTWORK INFORMATION

Title of Artwork *

A descriptive artwork title is essential because it provides context and helps the viewer understand the artist's message. A strong title can make a piece more memorable and clearly link it to the theme.

Description of Media Used *

Describe the materials you used to create your artwork. This can include traditional art supplies such as colored pencils, markers, crayons, pastels, or paint (watercolor, acrylic, or oil). You should also describe the surface you used, such as drawing paper, watercolor paper, canvas, cardboard, or any other 2D material. Please note that only two-dimensional, hand-created artwork is allowed; digital art is not accepted.

What is the name of the microscopic marine life depicted in your artwork? *

You may list a general group name (e.g., diatom, dinoflagellate, green algae, foraminifera, zooplankton, bacteria, or Archaea). If you illustrated a specific organism, feel free to include its scientific name (e.g., "Thalassiosira pseudonana" or "Asterionella glacialis").

Artist's Statement: Explain how your artwork relates to the theme, "Microscopic Marine Life" in 150 words or less. *

Be sure to describe the microscopic marine life you’ve illustrated and explain the positive contributions it makes such as supporting ocean ecosystems, helping other marine life thrive, or promoting the health of our planet. Your description is important; in fact, many past winners of the Challenge stood out because of their strong descriptions. The quality of your description could make the difference between placing third or fourth, or even being selected as a finalist. For more details on how your submission is scored, please review the Grading Rubric in the Contest Rules and Facts.
