🌊 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.

Emotion for Change
Ocean restoration, biodiversity protection, and fostering harmony between humans and other species all pass thorough the discover of the awareness that we all are linked, like the fluids in the Ipermare - Hypersea. Ipermare (Hypersea) is a term borrowed from the research of two American scientists, Mark and Dianna McMenamin, which conjured up an image: that of the global, collaborative interconnectedness between the beings of nature. According to the McMenamins, the Hypersea was an interconnected network of tiny protozoa (the first animals) living on the ocean floor. These protozoa formed a kind of superorganism in which they exchanged nutrients and genetic information, creating a highly adaptive and dynamic ecosystem. Since terrestrial creatures did not have the availability of ocean nutrients, they had to access fluids, store them and transfer them internally. The interweaving of the Hypersea is one possible explanation for the Cambrian explosion, a period of rapid diversification of complex life forms that occurred some 540 million years ago. Today, the function of the Hypersea on our earth is performed by the enormous network of fungal hyphae. They connect the roots of their symbiotic plant partners, generating a vast underground network of nutrient channels that often link different species in an intricate collaboration that has lasted 400 million years. The music of ‘Ipermare’ (Italian word for Hypersea) describes these collaborations through original compositions, released on an album in 2023. Each track is based on scientific content transformed into music. ‘Your album IPERMARE is a wonderful masterpiece. Your music captures the life of the biosphere', wrote us prof. Mark McMenamin. Blue Tribes - communities that honor the interconnectedness of all life and collaborate to safeguard our oceans and planet - are also made of vibrations, of music. Our original compositions are linked each other, and represent, with sounds and silences, the intertwining of branches, roots, underground organisms and every living being. The theme centers on Blue Tribes—. We encourage submissions that showcase innovative ideas, compelling narratives, and creative visions to inspire coexistence and planetary resilience.
