Welcome to the Social Art Award 2025 – Online Gallery!
🌊 Dear friends of art and transformation, 🌊
A heartfelt thank you to all artists and creatives who submitted their powerful works for this year’s Social Art Award under the theme: “Planetary Healing – Blue Tribes for Ocean Health.” Your inspiring visions speak to ocean restoration, biodiversity, and reimagining our coexistence with all life forms on Earth.
After receiving 922 submissions from across all continents, and concluding a very active public voting phase, the Social Art Award now enters its next chapter:
🔹 What’s next?
The professional jury panel is currently reviewing and selecting the TOP 100 entries that will be featured in the official Social Art Award 2025 book. In parallel, the two public voting winners will move forward as wildcards into the final jury round.
🔹 Coming up:
-
Shortlisted artists (TOP 10) will be announced by mid-June.
-
Winners of the Social Art Award 2025 will be revealed at our Online Award Ceremony on July 2, 2025.
We invite you to stay connected as we celebrate the power of Social Art to drive dialogue, awareness, and collective transformation.
Let’s continue to amplify art as a force for Planetary Healing.
UNITED STAR OF EUROPE
Heike Krause aka TrashmaidBerlin
The UNITED STAR OF EUROPE is the result of an EU art project I initiated. Via a call on Instagram, I asked trash collectors and artists from all member states of the European Union to send yellow plastic trash they collected outside (on beaches, in parks, in the mountains, on the streets etc.), photos and a text about themselves and their environmental activities. I used this trash to create the 150 cm x 150 cm UNITED STAR OF EUROPE in the shape of the stars of the European flag. When the star is shown at exhibitions, visitors can use a QR code to access the associated website: https://www.trashmaidberlin.de/PROJEKTE/UNITED-STAR-OF-EUROPE There they will find information about the project and can read and view the texts and photos of the 61 project participants from all 27 EU member states.
