UN #DrawYourDecade Competition
In May, NOSB students had the opportunity to participate in the inaugural #DrawYourDecade campaign competition.
#DrawYourDecade is a social media campaign to engage youth around the world in the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) and encourage direct involvement in the implementation of the UN Decade. The goal of this campaign is to draw out young people’s collective priorities for the next ten years of the ocean. Ultimately, these priorities will be incorporated into the planning and implementation of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
Specifically, #DrawYourDecade aims to draw out priorities for ocean data and policy related to the six goals of the Ocean Decade: (1) a clean ocean; (2) a healthy and resilient ocean; (3) a predicted ocean; (4) a safe ocean; (5) a sustainably harvested and productive ocean; and (6) a transparent and accessible ocean.
Eight students or teams submitted an image of their priorities for the ocean over the period of the UN Decade, answering the question, “what do you want the ocean to look like in ten years?” These images were then presented to and judged by NOAA officials.
Congratulations to the top three submissions!
1st place: Lexington High School (Blue Lobster Bowl)
2nd place: Joy Akeju, Burlington Township High School (Shore Bowl)
3rd place: Isabella Regonini, York High School (Nor’easter Bowl)
Other submissions:
Canyon Crest Academy (Garabaldi Bowl)
Centerville High School (Penguin Bowl)
Daniel Schneider, Hunter College High School (Bay Scallop Bowl)
Elizabeth Morgis, Woodstock Academy (Blue Lobster Bowl)
Max Yang, Ladue High School (Lake Sturgeon Bowl)
Thank you to all of the students for their thoughtful, creative submissions!

Have questions about marine renewable energy? Join the NOSB’s ‘Ask an Expert’ webinar!
The National Ocean Sciences Bowl is excited to host a webinar on Wednesday, January 15th at 7pm EST that will allow competing students, and other interested individuals, to “Ask an Expert” all their questions in the marine renewable energy space. Experts from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will be providing an update on current and future developments in wave and tidal energy along the U.S. coasts along with the ideas being explored around the application of marine energy for non-electrical grid uses for coastal resiliency such as ocean observations, powering remote communities, desalination, and autonomous under water vehicles.
All NOSB students, as well as their coaches, are invited to attend the webinar. We hope competing students will join and ask questions on marine renewable energy, and potential careers, as they prepare for their 2020 regional competitions. Experts from NREL and DOE staff will also share a brief overview of their career pathways.
2019 ANNUAL REVIEW AVAILABLE NOW!
The NOSB has released its 2019 Annual Review. Please read through the review and learn about all the exciting ocean science and career learning that occurred during the 2018-2019 competition year.
