The Sea Tow Foundation and its Boating Safety Advisory Council announce the call for entries for the 2023 National Boating Safety Awards.

Participants are welcome to submit multiple applications for various initiatives. To be considered, boating safety efforts must have taken place anytime between January 1, 2022 through June 1, 2023. Applicants are welcome to apply for efforts that have previously earned them an Award, but the applicant will be required to document enhancements or new additions to the effort and ensure it took place during the given dates.
Possible examples that could be considered for entry include email or social media campaigns, advertising that showcases safe boating behaviors, an in-store display, hosting an event, showcasing a product that provides added safety features for boaters, or any number of additional ways that boating safety could be promoted by a for-profit company.
There is no cost to enter, and applications take less than 10 minutes to complete. The Sea Tow Foundation’s National Boating Safety Awards will be presented on October 2 during the Soundings Trade Only event in Tampa, Florida, prior to the start of IBEX.
