Welcome to the FishTank Competition—an exciting Ocean Lovers initiative that empowers students to become future leaders in ocean conservation!

Open to primary and secondary students across NSW, this competition challenges young minds to create innovative solutions for protecting our oceans. By engaging with real-world environmental issues, students will have the chance to showcase their creativity, pitch their ideas, and make a tangible difference.

The competition aligns with the NSW Department of Education curriculum, supporting key areas like STEM, sustainability, and leadership development, fostering creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and environmental stewardship—making it a valuable addition to your school’s teaching plans.

With generous prizes, the opportunity to present to a live audience, and exposure through the Ocean Lovers Festival in 2025, this is the perfect platform to inspire your students to turn their passion for the ocean into action and create waves of change.
