The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is organizing the ‘Science without Borders’ International Student Art Contest 2023 for secondary school students aged 11 to 19.

About The Competition

The Science Without Borders Challenge is an international contest that engages students and teachers in ocean conservation through art. This annual competition inspires students to be creative while promoting public awareness of the need to preserve, protect, and restore the world’s oceans and aquatic resources, contributing to the overarching goals of the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation. The Challenge is open to primary and secondary school students 11-19 years old, with scholarships of up to $500 awarded to the winning entries.
