This is a design contest open to 8-14 year old kids. Design a flag that represents ocean exploration and the protection of ocean ecosystems, then write an essay that describes your design, under 250 words (that’s like a page, double spaced). Then mail it to National Geographic in Washington D.C., the postmark on your entry must be no later than February 20, 2010. The winning design will become a real flag on the National Geographic Ocean Now expedition ship. The winner will also receive a patch of their design, and an assortment of National Geographic books and DVDs. The winners name will be posted at kids.nationalgeographic.com after April 15.
