Celebrate 25 Years of Mangrove Art!

MAP invites children around the world to participate in our 25th Annual Children’s Mangrove Art Contest!

Educating our youth about the significance of mangrove and coastal ecosystems is crucial for instigating long-term change. Through this contest, we aim to cultivate a lifelong appreciation and respect for the environment in the next generation of decision-makers.

Selected winning artworks will be showcased in our 2026 art calendar, helping to spread the message of mangrove conservation and highlight the powerful voices of young creatives around the globe.

Help us celebrate this special anniversary by sharing the contest with local schools, teachers, homeschooling groups, youth organizations, and families in your community. For more information or ideas on how to get involved, contact Monica Gutierrez-Quarto, our Art Contest Project Coordinator, at artcontest@mangroveactionproject.org.
