The contest theme "Sail into Imagination" was conceived to encourage students to share their vision of traveling aboard SSA ferries to Cape and Islands ports and to inspire artistic interpretations of growing up by the sea.
Rather than submit a canvas product, due to the coronavirus health emergency, students and parents are asked to take a photo of the finished artwork and email it to Sailintoimagination@steamshipauthority.com. The original artwork can then be submitted by Sept. 30.
