We are looking for positive stories and videos from individuals on how you connect to and are inspired by the Sound’s oceans, and why a healthy ocean is important to you! Submissions are welcome from all who have a connection to the Sound (young ocean explorers too!!) We welcome story-telling expressions of all formats, including but not limited to short videos, photo essays, anecdotes, art pieces, and music. You are encouraged to use a medium that best expresses your passion for our treasured Sound. The stories you share may be shared with the Sound’s public on World Oceans Day.
Stories can come in text, record yourself telling a story, say a little phrase, short anecdote, ocean themed photos, etc. Share something you’ve already created or make something new! For example, if you’ve previously created a video that’s longer than 15 minutes then you can share a portion of it.
