Dolphin Quest has been a community education partner, welcoming school children and youth organizations as participants in our field trip program, for over 20 years. Education is at the foundation of our mission to touch hearts and minds and inspire the next generation of stewards.
The 2024 Student Steward Contest objective is to combine knowledge and critical thinking skills, to convey, through artistic expression, the relationship and impact of humans on our Ocean.
The top selected entries in each of four age categories will be eligible for local prizes and entry into the Delphinus International “12th Festival of the Oceans” Youth Art Contest in Cancun, Mexico.
