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.
I can't see the Earth disappearing.

At first, no one paid attention to this disaster; it was just a forest fire, a drought, the extinction of a species, and the disappearance of a city, until the disaster became closely related to everyone. Picture description: Because of the melting of glaciers, polar bears have nowhere to live and become scavengers that feed on human leftovers. The stranded whales on the beach, human pollution of the ocean, and the destruction of marine ecology, as well as the garbage floating on the sea surface, all seem far away from us. At the other end, one species after another is extinct, and the ice is melting continuously. The greenhouse effect brings chaos to the ecosystem. The increase in sea water temperature leads to a decrease in oxygen, forming an anoxic sea area. Marine life has no choice but to find new habitats to escape. The person in the center of the picture faces us, holding a fire in his hand. The fire represents the starting point of human civilization and contrasts with the melting glacier behind. The person in the center of the image faces the viewer, and the cries in the background are invisible. Above the picture are deep-sea fish, sardines, whales, and tuna, swimming freely in an s-shaped formation, in contrast with the crying person and the crying polar bear below.
