Competing

Make your talent and achievements visible!

Do you have a creative flair or innovative ideas? Have you carried out a project worth sharing with others? Make it known!

International institutions highly value youth participation and are eager to hear your views on crucial social, environmental, and economic issues. Many initiatives invite young people to get involved, share their ideas, and contribute to shaping a better society. Other initiatives highlight and celebrate their achievements in making a real impact in their communities and beyond. 

Whether you’re an artist, a community leader, or have a groundbreaking project idea, there’s a platform for you to showcase your talents, drive change, and gain international recognition and exposure.

Prizes and Awards

Showcase your contribution and inspire others

Have you carried out a project that could inspire others? Bring it to the fore and get recognition for it!

International prizes and awards offer recognition for outstanding achievements or innovative ideas in various fields, such as youth contributions to European values and societal challenges. 

Most provide financial rewards, which can help scale up impactful projects. Recognition not only inspires others but also opens doors for personal and professional development through mentorship programmes and invitations to high-profile events.

Competitions

Showcase your talents and creativity for good causes

Eager to drive change and showcase your potential? Join a competition and let your unique ideas and vision stand out!

Competitions provide platforms for young people to showcase their talents, develop innovative solutions to global issues, and engage in creative projects. 

Often linked to international initiatives, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, they typically focus on climate action, social equality, and other pressing issues facing young people today.

Winners usually receive cash prizes or grants, along with mentorship and professional development opportunities, as well as exposure to potential investors or employers.
