Students K-12 Invited to Create Posters for “Wrecks of the World” International Art Contest

2012 marks the centenary of Titanic's maiden voyage and sinking.

MYSTIC, Conn. (January 31, 2012) – Students in grades K-12 are invited to participate in the "Wrecks of the World" international art contest sponsored by The JASON Project and its Immersion Learning program, the North American Marine Environmental Protection Association (NAMEPA) and the U.S Coast Guard. One of the most famous shipwrecks in the world is the Titanic, which sunk 100 years ago this April. Although the sinking was a tragedy, it inspired many safety reforms in the shipping world.

Submissions for this year's contest are due by April 1, 2012, and can focus on any historic or modern shipwreck and/or how to make shipping safer.

Twelve entries (six from grades K-5 and six from grades 6-12) will be selected as finalists by May 1, 2012. Winners will be required to submit their original artwork upon being notified of their selection as finalists. The winning artwork will be featured on The JASON Project, NAMEPA, and U.S. Coast Guard websites. Finalists will receive a calendar with the artwork from all 12 winners and a signed photograph and certificate from world famous oceanographer and Titanic discoverer Dr. Robert Ballard. Additionally, two grand-prize winning artists (one from each of the grade brackets) will also receive a $100 cash prize from NAMEPA and a Titanic book signed by Dr. Ballard.
