The Brilliant Blue Challenge

To The Oceans is thrilled to champion the next wave of marine innovators through our collaboration with the Brilliant Blue Challenge. This global ideas competition empowers high school students to channel their passion and creativity into tangible solutions for protecting our oceans, and we are proud to support the very first teams from Finland and Scandinavia on this exciting journey.

The Brilliant Blue Challenge is where inspiration meets action. It provides a platform for young minds to develop and present groundbreaking ideas, fostering a new generation of environmental leaders who are ready to tackle the critical issues facing our blue planet. From local initiatives to global concepts, this is about turning student vision into a powerful force for change.

Our mission is not just about appreciating the oceans, but actively working to secure their future. By supporting, mentoring, and encouraging these student teams, we are investing in the most valuable resource of all: human ingenuity fueled by a love for the sea.

This category celebrates youth empowerment and innovation in marine conservation. Follow the progress of the teams, discover their brilliant ideas, and get inspired by the young leaders who are rising to the challenge of creating a healthier future for our oceans.
