Calling All Student Artists, Parents and Art Teachers!
The DEP Earth Day Poster Contest 2026 is open! This year’s theme, “See the Sea Floor: Discover Florida Beneath the Waves,” highlights the Florida Seafloor Mapping Initiative, a statewide effort using advanced tools like sonar and LiDAR to reveal underwater landscapes, coral reefs and hidden geological features.
Open to students in grades 4-12.
Show us your creativity by illustrating what you imagine lies beneath the surface and how these discoveries guide scientists in protecting Florida’s coasts.
Submit your entry by April 22.
