GAME Awards

Please submit nominees by OCTOBER 20th, 2023

The Georgia Association of Marine Education (GAME) envisions a collaborative community of educators, scientists, and concerned citizens. The group provides networking opportunities for its members, equips educators to teach marine science concepts more effectively, and celebrates the wonder of the aquatic systems of Georgia.

To help fulfil this mission, GAME annually presents awards to marine educators across Georgia for their work in marine education. Awardee are nominated by their peer in one of two categories using the Awards Nomination form. All nominations are reviewed by the Awards committee and Board. Awards are presented at the annual conference.
