THE VALERIE TAYLOR ART PRIZE
THE VALERIE TAYLOR ART PRIZE
This invitational art prize is for Oceania's leading and most innovative artists who care about the degradation of our environment, in particular the damage being done to the mother of all life, the ocean. This art prize presents an opportunity for invited artists to promote a love of the ocean, awareness of the vastness of the problems, and practical solutions to fix them.
The winning artist will receive $40,000. All artworks are for sale with half the proceeds going to the artists and the other half going to the Australian Marine Conservation Society. They are leading in the advocacy space around climate action to protect reefs, and are well placed to catalyse outsized impact with greater support.
Valerie Taylor, the internationally honoured, pioneering conservationist, photographer and filmmaker will graciously present this award. Valerie will share her wisdom in the hope of drawing more attention to this now urgent cause

Our well-being and fates are bound to the ocean.
Our mission is to catalyse positive change for a clean and thriving ocean. We aim to inspire wonder, to celebrate and build public support for the finite and fragile systems of ocean life. We hope to restore, protect and build custodianship for the ocean by catalysing creative, cultural, scientific, business, education and community action.
Our vision is to create a world that values and cares for the living thriving ocean, both for itself, for our needs, and for the healthy future of our planet.
