About the competition

<19 Shape your world! is a creative competition motivating innovative digital solutions to everyday problems. Anyone, who is under 19 years old from Hungary or a Hungarian-speaking region can take part by submitting finished projects on this website by the 29th of October 2024.

The competition has been organised by the C³ Foundation every year since 2003. The awarded works are evaluated by a professional jury made up of artists, coders, ex-winners and educators. Their final selection is based not on the skill-level of the contestant or the technological complexity of the submitted project, but on the idea behind. Chosen works are presented in an exhibition in Budapest, where the award-ceremony takes place alongside open, creative workshops for all age groups.

A dedicated website is developed each year, making it possible to follow technological trends in the target age group (<19) throughout the years. Please find the websites from previous years and information on winner projects here: 2023, 2022, 2021

International partners of <19 Shape your world! include the competitions u19 - create your world, Ars Electronica and Deutscher Multimediapreis mb21. Each year, winners of the competitions get to visit the events in Budapest (HU), Dresden (DE) and Linz (AT) in the framework of an exchange.
