Marine Spatial Planning Photography Competition 2025

Green-Schools Marine Spatial Planning Photography Competition 2025 

My Sea, My Story 

The Green-Schools Marine Spatial Planning Photography Competition is now closed, and all winners’ schools have been notified.

The winning photos will be published on our website in February 2026 – a huge thank you to everyone who entered!

Under the theme My Sea, My Story, we’re asking individual students to submit photographs that reflect their hopes for our seas. Capture your personal connection to the ocean—whether it’s celebrating life along the coast, exploring our rivers, or highlighting the plants and animals that depend on these waters. Think about how our ocean is used today, and how it could be cared for and shared in the future. Whether you live inland or by the sea, we want to see what the ocean means to you!
