The Mangrove Action Project (MAP) would like to invite children from every country to join in this creative and educational art competition. It is not just an opportunity for the youth to learn about Mangroves' vital role in the lives of marine life and coastal communities worldwide, but also a chance to stimulate their intellect and creativity. This 23rd annual art contest is an opportunity for participating NGOs to collaborate with teachers and communities and to develop children's understanding when thinking about the environment around them. Education about the importance of Mangrove and Coastal ecosystems is critical when affecting long-term change. Children are the next generation of decision-makers, and we have the chance to teach them the value of the natural world, giving them a lifelong appreciation and respect for their environment. As always, the selected winning artworks will be published in next year's art calendar (2025), which will help to raise awareness of mangrove forests while encouraging and listening to the imaginative voices of the next generation. All students submitting artwork will be eligible for a printable e-certificate of participation. Please share information about this competition with your local schools, teachers, home-schooling groups, youth groups, and families. If you do need further ideas of how you or your schools can take part, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at artcontest@mangroveactionproject.org
