2020 Science Without Borders® Challenge: High School Finalists
Congratulations to the high school finalists in our 2020 Science Without Borders® Challenge!, The theme of this year’s student art contest was “Take Action: Conserve Coral Reefs.” These top-10 finalists were chosen based on how well the artwork exemplified this year’s theme, the quality of the artwork, and the creativity and originality of their artwork. We hope you will be as impressed with the submissions we received as we were.
“Our Roots” by Michelle Kirtich, Age 18, United States
In this work, two children plant a small sapling. What they don't see is that they are actually planting so much more. Our coral reefs and the ecosystems that rely on them are being destroyed, and it is our responsibility as the future of humanity to heal them. This piece is upside-down because by taking even a seemingly small action, you plant the seeds of future environmental prosperity, represented here by a tree. We must be the ones to take action and create change in our ecosystem. We must be the roots of hope.
