The Blue Carpet: Celebrating Impact, Expression, and Legacy for the Blue Planet.

For the first time in Singapore, the Blue Legacy Awards is proudly launched in conjunction with the 32nd edition of Asia Dive Expo (ADEX) — marking a significant milestone in the region’s ocean, dive, and blue-economy landscape.

The Blue Legacy Awards is a global recognition platform dedicated to honouring individuals, organisations, and initiatives whose contributions have created lasting impact for the blue planet. It celebrates excellence across ocean sports, arts, tourism, industry, and community, guided by a deep commitment to sustainability and long-term stewardship.

Hosted alongside ADEX, Asia’s longest-running and most influential dive and ocean platform, the inaugural Blue Legacy Awards reflects a shared vision — to move beyond awareness and towards enduring legacy. Together, ADEX and the Blue Legacy Awards bring industry leaders, creatives, conservationists, policymakers, athletes, and innovators onto one stage, united by a common purpose: to protect, celebrate, and sustain our oceans for generations to come.

A Platform for Legacy, Not Just Recognition:

Unlike conventional awards, the Blue Legacy Awards focuses on impact that endures. Honourees are recognised not only for their achievements today, but for the long-term value, responsibility, and positive change they bring to the ocean and coastal communities worldwide.

The awards acknowledge excellence across diverse pillars, including:

  • Ocean conservation and stewardship
  • Underwater sports and exploration
  • ⁠Arts, culture, and visual storytelling
  • ⁠Sustainable tourism and destination leadership
  • ⁠Industry innovation and blue-economy leadership
  • ⁠Community-driven impact and education

Each award reflects the belief that legacy is built through responsibility, creativity, leadership, and care for the blue planet.

Singapore: A Global Blue Hub

Launching the Blue Legacy Awards in Singapore carries special significance. As a global hub for sustainability, innovation, culture, and maritime excellence, Singapore provides the ideal stage for an award that bridges community and industry, creativity and commerce, heritage and future.

In partnership with ADEX’s 32-year legacy, the Blue Legacy Awards positions Singapore as a meeting point for global ocean leadership, reinforcing the city’s role in shaping the future of the blue world.

The Blue Carpet Experience

The inaugural ceremony features The Blue Carpet, a signature moment celebrating honourees and guests who exemplify excellence across community and industry. More than a red-carpet moment, the Blue Carpet symbolises respect, recognition, and responsibility — where legacy takes centre stage.

A New Chapter Begins

The launch of the Blue Legacy Awards marks the beginning of a long-term international platform — one that will grow across regions, disciplines, and generations, while remaining rooted in its core mission:

To honour those who shape our blue future through enduring legacy.
