Does your child dream of making a difference for our oceans? The Future Wavemakers Competition is the perfect chance for Florida’s young ocean advocates, ages 4-18, to showcase their passion for protecting our blue planet.
Hosted by Wavemakers Impact, this competition blends ecological curiosity with entrepreneurial spirit, allowing students to pitch their ocean-saving ideas in a “Shark Tank”-style showdown. The rewards are just as exciting: top students can win a $5,000 scholarship, and the school with the most participation will score a $10,000 education grant! Plus, the top 100 students will receive exclusive prize packages.
At the heart of the Future Wavemakers Competition is a mission that aligns closely with one of our core priorities: restoring Florida’s coral reefs. Healthy reefs are essential to the future of our oceans, providing critical habitat for marine life, protecting coastlines, and supporting Florida’s fishing and tourism industries. By empowering young Floridians to take the lead on ocean conservation, the competition inspires the next generation of changemakers to play a key role in protecting these vital ecosystems.
