Dear Educators, 

We are thrilled to announce that the 2024 Science Without Borders Challenge is now open! The theme for this year’s Challenge is “Hidden Wonders of the Deep.” Our international art contest invites students worldwide to showcase their creativity by depicting the mysterious and unique creatures or ecosystems found in the deep sea. Through their artwork, students will have the opportunity to highlight the beauty and diversity that often goes unnoticed in these fascinating underwater worlds. Learn about the theme. 

The Science Without Borders Challenge is open to all students worldwide who are 11–19 years old and enrolled in primary or secondary school (or the home-school equivalent). College and university students are not eligible for this contest. Work will be judged in two categories based on age, with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes awarded for each:

• Students 11–14 years old
• Students 15–19 years old

Students can win up to $500 in this international art contest. 

All entries must be received by Monday, March 4, 2024, to be eligible to win the contest.
