The ocean needs your brain power
What?
The OceanLove Innovation Award (OIA) aims to push forward ideas with potential to restore, sustain and/or protect the oceans. The Award challenge is open for people from all kinds of backgrounds, from all over the world. The ideas that are sought after, are early stage innovations, from motivated people that in potential could make a real impact on ocean sustainability (SDG 14) and even strengthen local communities.
The year, 2024 marks the first year that OceanLove organized the innovation challenge focussed on the oceans, open to everyone that needs the support for an idea with high potential. With funding, media outreach and backing from experienced social entrepreneurs, the winning idea will then be supported in bringing it to fruition.
OceanLove will continue after 2024 with a new opportunity to apply for the OceanLove Innovation Award!
TURN THE TIDE
Climate change, overfishing, extinction of species, loss of biodiversity and all kinds of pollution (for instance plastics, ghost nets, oil spillage, deep-sea mining) are threatening our oceans and the life of future generations. Read more about the facts here.
Don’t be shy
You don’t need money, high education or a huge social network for a good idea, only the guts to share your idea with us. Check out some inspiration and keep in mind that none of these people were rich when they had their first idea.
Or are you afraid we might run away with your idea? Never! Your idea will always stay your idea. You can read more about our code of conduct in the frequently asked questions (FAQ). And by the way, we’re a non-profit, with an amazing team of dedicated volunteers. The only profits we aim for is better protection of our oceans.
We WILL help TAKE your idea to the next Stage
In May our globally acclaimed team of knowledgable judges will pre-select the 20 up to 30 most interesting ideas.
During the Award Ceremony (June 19th, The Hague, The Netherlands) the 10 finalists will be introduced to the audience and the top 5 ideas, chosed by the judges, will be announced. The top 5 ideas will receive a grand as seed money as well as coaching for further development of the initiatives.
