The 2024 Ocean Awareness Contest, titled ‘Tell Your Climate Story,’ aims to inspire individuals to become climate witnesses and share their own distinct stories about climate change. It invites participants to creatively convey their personal encounters, perspectives, and understanding of the changing climate. This contest provides a platform to deepen one’s understanding of the climate crisis, and its effects on families and communities, and to reflect on individual responses to our rapidly evolving world.
