Call for entries: 'Stories of the Seas'

Greenpeace is embarking on an exciting new journey in Southeast Asia to explore the region’s incredible oceans. Without the oceans, there would be no life on earth.

  

There’s more to the sea than the endless stretch of blue water.  

 

This vast global ocean pulses around our world driving the natural forces which maintain life on our planet.  And beneath the waves, the ocean is pulsing with life – a staggering 80 percent of all the life on earth, in fact. 

 

The oceans provide vital sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products of use the world over. The rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half of our oxygen. It drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world. It transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined.

 

The oceans keep the Earth habitable. Unfortunately, around the world, the ocean is under threat. We need to defend it!  

 

You are the hope for the oceans.  You have the power to make the change.   

 

Join us in forming a collective narrative to illustrate what our gulfs, bays and seas mean to us as individuals, as a people and as a global community. 

 

This is your chance to go behind the camera and capture images or footages that will remind Filipinos and the rest of the world why we must protect our bodies of water.

 

We're on the lookout for compelling photos and videos depicting our relationship with our waters, be they reflections of beauty or destruction. 

 

The search is open from May 25, 2013 to July 12, 2013. For more information on the mechanics, please visit the website.
