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.
