In 2026, MARE returns with a programme of activities to observe, understand and protect the Balearic Sea: photography and Reels contests, workshops, exhibitions, educational proposals and participatory actions open to everyone.
Explore the programme and discover how you can be part of this initiative.
Images not only show the beauty and fragility of the Balearic Sea, but also become tools for awareness, action and transformation.
At MARE, the artist's gaze is just the beginning. Each image opens the door to understanding, connecting, and recognising what the sea needs.
From emotion to awareness. From awareness to action.
At MARE we believe in the power of images to transform perception and spark awareness.
Every photograph, video and reel is a tool to reveal the beauty and fragility of the Balearic Sea, to inspire emotion and to mobilise society toward its conservation.
MARE is not just a contest: it's a conservation initiative that uses imagery as a starting point to generate knowledge, activate projects and strengthen the bond between people and the sea.
Because conservation begins with looking, understanding and getting involved.
And when many perspectives come together, a tide of collective action begins.
MARE is image, community and action for a sea with a future.
Will you join us?
MARE invites you to dive into the Balearic Sea through a competition where photography is the main artistic discipline. We invite everyone to capture the beauty of the Balearic Sea’s landscape, wildlife and marine flora. To share it, understand it, enjoy it, learn about the challenges it faces and take part in its conservation.
