Reinvention Art Competition

Love art? Enter our Reinvention competition and show us your vision for the future.


We're celebrating this year's Turner Prize, hosted by the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA), by running a UK-wide art competition for all ages on the theme of 'Reinvention'.


Think you're a budding artist? Know someone who is? We're inviting young people aged 5 to 25 across Great Britain to submit designs that imagine an inspiring future.


Climate change isn't going anywhere – we must take urgent action to transform the systems we've come to rely on. But big change doesn’t happen on its own – it takes energy, creativity, and hope. We believe art can spark the imagination, bring people together and drive us toward a brighter, greener future.


What's up for grabs...

£100 for 100 artists!

£500 cash for 10 schools

Octopus Energy Equality Foundation

The Octopus Energy Equality Foundation was created with one mission: to build a more equal and inclusive energy industry in the UK and beyond.


The energy and tech industries remain among the least diverse in the UK, with just 5% percent Black and ethnic minority representation. Environmentalism is even further behind as the second least diverse sector in the country, right after farming. This is not because of a lack of interest or skill. The challenge lies in access, opportunity, and support. The OEEF here to change that.


Here's what you can expect:


  • One or two day interactive career workshops hosted throughout the year that give an insight into the many careers available in green energy

  • Behind the scenes visits to wind farms, research labs, and technology innovation hubs

  • Talks with experts from over forty different departments, including engineering, marketing, software development, and climate science

  • 🙋🏾 Honest question and answer sessions with senior leadership, including Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson

  • Careers fairs and networking events featuring green employers and industry professionals

  • Guest events with high profile speakers such as White House advisor and climate activist Jerome Foster II


Whether you’re looking for your first step into a meaningful career, you’re curious about clean technology, or passionate about climate justice, you are in the right place.
