Picture Perfect

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. As World Ocean Day approaches, we're wondering: Have you taken a photo that tells the story of how oceans inspire you?

If so, we hope you'll share your photo—and the inspiration—by entering our second World Ocean Day Photo Contest.

The first-place photo will be featured on our website and in Sea Notes—where you can inspire thousands of people to care about protecting our oceans for future generations.

Just submit your most inspirational photo—one that stirs feelings of wonder, fascination and hope for the future of the oceans—by midnight on Sunday, June 1. It doesn't matter whether it's a snapshot from last Sunday's visit to the beach, or a dramatic photo from years ago. (Only one photo per person, though!)

We'll announce the winners on Friday, June 6—in time for our World Ocean Day weekend celebration.
