The Province of Teramo, FP-7 Project MARLISCO's Lead Partner, launches
an International Contest for artists, aiming at highlighting the marine
litter problem by artistically exploring possible solutions.

The MARLISCO ART CONTEST - 1st International award "Art of Marine
Litter" takes place from the 20th of February to the 20th of March 2014
and it's addressed to national and international artists committed to
enhancing an ethical and innovative vision of the relation between art
and marine litter and the value of their recycle-reuse through artistic
works.

The art works must be installations, paintings or sculptures made by
solid marine litter.

Authors of the winning works will receive the following prizes and get
the chance to expose their own works at the MuMa, the Sea Museum of
Genova, for 3 months (From the 3rd of June to the 26th of August)

MARLISCO Video Contest : hundreds of videos received from European
youngsters on the issue of marine litter

The European Project MARLISCO launched a challenge in 14 EU countries
and encouraged youngsters to tell us what they think about the problem
of marine litter.

We’ve received hundreds of fantastic and powerful videos from Germany,
Denmark, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal,
Italy, Slovenia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey.

The national Jury panels are now evaluating and scoring all the works
submitted, in order to rank the top 3 in each country and select the
best national video that will feature together with all the other
national winners in a final film compilation.

Between the 3rd and 13th March, the nominated videos for each country
are open to public vote, which will be considered in the final Jury
decision. Have a look at the playlists from all the 14 participating
countries:
