As part of EU4Ocean award process, a jury met to pre-select five projects of Young Ocean Advocates (cf. Terms of Reference for process and assessment criteria) which would then be submitted to the final EU4Ocean Awards.
We are pleased to announce that the jury designated the following winners for their projects in:
Ocean conservation
Business and innovation
Research related to solve marine and societal challenges
Community engagement
Culture and arts
Venice Climate Change Pavilion
As winners of this phase, they are offered a return trip to Lisbon to attend the UN Ocean Conference or equivalent to purchase goods and services to develop their project further.
Their projects are now selected for a second phase of the awards (the final EU4Ocean Awards) where the winners will be presented during the EU4Ocean Summit.
A call for public vote has been launched, so feel free to participate to support them.
