Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation’s Science without Borders® Challenge 2027 International Art Competition

The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation’s Science Without Borders® Challenge invites students aged 11‑19 from around the world to create original 2‑dimensional artwork that reflects the theme “Navigate with Care.” The competition, held annually, aims to raise awareness of ocean conservation while encouraging creative expression. Participants must submit a photo of their artwork and, for 2027, two photos of themselves creating the piece to verify authenticity. The entry deadline is March 1 2027, 11:59 pm Eastern. The contest is free to enter and offers scholarships of up to $500 for the top three winners, with an additional $50 People’s Choice award in each age group. Entries are judged by a panel of experts, and semi‑finalists are required to send the original artwork. Teachers are encouraged to support students, as each entry must be vouched for by an educator. The challenge is hosted by the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, headquartered in Washington DC, and is open to all students worldwide.

Scholarships up to $500, People's Choice $50

Students aged 11-19 enrolled in primary or secondary school; college/university students not eligible; teacher or art instructor must vouch
