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.

The remnants of human intervention in nature are left standing, a testament to past follies. These structures once spelled the word ‘stop’ to the sea, but alas, the sea has no master. In this digital illustrated collage I represent these sea barriers as hands, like the many hands over many years that would have built and rebuilt these defences as they were slowly whittled away by the storms. Now they serve as memory, as recognition that there is a better future where humans can coexist with the unique and wonderful wildlife on Spurn Point – once these fingers are eroded away they will not be rebuilt by new hands. Instead, the communities of Spurn Point work with the sea and the river to honour and live with this coastal landscape as it will continue to shift and change over time.
