Juried Art Show
The NOSB Ocean Connection Juried Art Show is open to all "ocean-theme" artwork created by high school students (grades 9–12) from schools participating in the NOSB competition. Students with art entries do not have to be members of a NOSB team to submit art.
Artwork submitted must be original and created solely by the participating student during the current school year. No published, traced, or copied materials are allowed. To see examples of previous artwork, check out the NOSB archives.
