The ocean needs your brain power
What?
On June 19th, 2024 the first ever OceanLove Innovation Award will be given out to the most innovative and effective idea for protecting oceans.
With funding, media outreach and backing from experienced social entrepreneurs, the winning idea will then be supported in bringing it to fruition. In the following years, the OceanLove InnovationAward will continue to mobilize more participants, brainpower and inspiring results on an annual basis.
TURN THE TIDE
Climate change, overfishing, extinction of species, loss of biodiversity and all kinds of pollution (for instance plastics, ghost nets, oil spillage, deep-sea mining) are threatening our oceans and the life of future generations. Read more about the facts here.
Don’t be shy
You don’t need money, high education or a huge social network for a good idea, only the guts to share your idea with us. Check out some inspiration and keep in mind that none of these people were rich when they had their first idea.
Or are you afraid we might run away with your idea? Never! Your idea will always stay your idea. You can read more about our code of conduct in the frequently asked questions (FAQ). And by the way, we’re a non-profit, with an amazing team of dedicated volunteers. The only profits we aim for is better protection of our oceans.
We WILL help TAKE your idea to the next Stage
In May our globally acclaimed team of knowledgable judges will pre-select the 20 up to 30 most interesting ideas.
When your idea is among this Top 30 we’ll invite you for our Award Event (June 19th, The Hague, The Netherlands), organized together with partner Oceanovation. Here we guide you towards potential partners and donors and the best ideas will receive seed money.
