JPI Oceans Photo and Art Awards: And the winner is...

JPI Oceans is proud to reveal the winning entries of the Photo and Art Awards, held on the occasion of its 10th anniversary.

The JPI Oceans Art and Photo Awards welcomed entries from around the world, illustrating the artists perception and awareness of our marine environment. Unanimously selected by the independent jury, the winner of the open competition is Masoud Soheili with Where is our Future. The jury hailed the image as a very strong call to action exposing the enormous challenge of marine pollution while capturing the perspective of the youth looking at the legacy the last decades have left.

01. Where is our futureIn the JPI Oceans project competition, the jury selected New Shades of Blue of Filipa Bessa, a biologist and researcher participating in the JPI Oceans I-Plastic project. The jury was particularly impressed by the harmonious composition which draws the observer in for a second look. “Looking closer, rather than life you discover it is trash, uniting the beauty and repulsion.”
