Inspire, educate and make waves for the ocean!
The aim is to raise awareness, inspire, build community and also to contribute to safeguarding the ocean & marine wildlife. We want to build a movement to bring ocean literacy into the mainstream and reach communities that wouldn't usually consider the importance of our ocean
How to Join the Challenge
The concept is simple- respond to these 5 ocean prompts designed to celebrate, raise awareness and highlight the work of our charity partner, during June.
6-8 June- Planet Ocean
9-11 June- Stories of the sea
12- 14 June- Wonders Beneath the Waves
15-17 June- Ocean Curiosities
18-20 June- The Ocean Unites
Use your creativity through art, photography, film, music, or poetry to interpret the prompt in your own way.

Our Partners for 2024: Australian Marine Conservation Society
Every year we partner with an amazing organisation to fundraise and highlight the important work they do!
Australian waters are some of the worlds most remarkable and biodiverse. But along with global trends they are facing more threats than ever before. AMCS is at the forefront of ocean conservation working to change policy and public behaviour for the good of the ocean and us!
Our Hosting Artists
Every year this challenge is hosted by a wonderful team of internationally acclaimed artists. We are here to inspire and support anyone participating in the challenge.
Our hosting artists will be supporting them in various ways through auctions, print sales and by telling the stories of the incredible work they do.
We have some artists who really define themselves as ocean artists but others who usually work in other areas. This way we cross-pollinate more & spread the word wider. We've loved receiving questions about some of our previous prompts- "what is blue carbon?" & receiving comments from participants to say that that had seen seagrass on their coastline & hadn’t known what it was before. That is exactly our intention! Let's get excited, make some art & some noise for planet ocean
