Description

Bubble Buddies Bay SplashFest! is a brand-new, multi-country celebration of creativity and care for our planet. Our goal remains simple: to inspire children and families through imagination and action. We do this by focusing on three core pillars:

LEARN: Discover the magic and science of the marine world.
PLAY: Engage creativity through art, film, and storytelling.
PROTECT: Inspire positive action for the environment.

We know that everything in nature is connected and we welcome works that explore not only the sea, but wider ecological themes: from water and wildlife to climate and sustainability. Whether you make films, write stories, draw comics, or have an engaging idea for a campaign, we would love to hear from you. Your creativity can help make the ocean smile again!

Why It Matters

Bubble Buddies Bay SplashFest! brings together art, storytelling, science and film to help children discover the beauty and fragility of our planet.
Your work can inspire them to become the next generation of Ocean Guardians through imagination, empathy and action.

The Ripple Reel (Short Film & Animation)

– Documentaries

Oranisation Overview

We’re on a mission to educate and inspire children to become the next generation of marine champions. Through the colourful Bubble Buddies Bay family of animated characters and their fun, interactive stories, we bring the wonders of marine life to our young audience, fostering a deep connection and respect for the sea.
Launched in 2024, Bubble Buddies Bay is inspired by the best-selling ‘Fishsoup’ book series by Greek author George Lebesis. Released in 2011, the series inspired songs, theatre performances, and games.
That spark of inspiration opened up a world of creativity for us. From it, we’ve imagined a brand-new universe of characters and stories, built with the same spirit of wonder and care for the ocean. And for that, we will always be grateful to George, whose storytelling reminded us how powerful children's literature can be.
