2026 Award Ceremony

The third edition of the OceanLove Innovation Awards Ceremony took place on 11 October 2026 at AltaSea, Port of Los Angeles, California. It was an afternoon by the ocean, open to all ages, where the winners across the three award categories — The Blue Circle, Living Sea, and WaveMakers — were announced and celebrated. In addition to the projects selected by the panel of judges, the ceremony also featured a public vote, giving the audience the opportunity to choose their favourite projects from among the finalists. The vote was open to both attendees and an international audience watching the event via livestream on YouTube, which reached nearly 4,000 viewers.
