The competition, which was formally announced in mid-May, attracted more than 60 entrants from across the Island that were then looked at by a panel of three judges. Students were given a month to make either a two or three-dimensional creation that highlighted coral reef conservation and incorporated either the BZS Reef Watch logo or BZS Reef Watch red mask in the design.

Aquarium and zoo curator Ian Walker added: “We were truly amazed at the number of entries in this first ever BZS Reef Watch student art competition, as well as the amazing quality of the artwork by students from across Bermuda’s schools.
