Beneath The Sea's Ocean Pals Poster Contest for Children is an environmental education-through-art program. Its purpose is to encourage young people to become aware of and share their concerns for the marine environment through poster art. Their messages will be brought to the widest possible audience to create a stronger commitment to protect the environment on which all life on this planet depends. Each year's competition has a unique theme on which students create their artistic poster. Small cash awards are available to top posters.

Students create an artistic poster based on the annual theme. There are three types of entries that students can submit to the Ocean Pal's competition:

• National Poster Contest Rules
• International Poster Contest Rules

Computer Graphic and Air Brushed posters are judged in a special separate class. They must follow the Poster Specification Rules: Section (A.) Presentation item numbers 1-5 and 7. As well as Section (B.) Paper. Prizes awarded will be for one (1) Computer Graphic/Air Brushed division and will be the same Regional and National prizes as the freehand posters.

A panel of independent judges, recognized for their work in marine art, marine environment, and art education will be assembled to select winners. All decisions are final.
