Loading the monthly leaderboard…
AI scores can be mistaken. This is a rolling learning experience with monthly rankings, not a formal award programme. Only works assessed under the same category and scoring version are compared. How assessment works
Know where
you stand.
Do I need an account to browse?
No. You can search opportunities and preview two results for free without signing up. An entrant account is only needed when you submit work to our own creative programme.
What does the US$1 purchase include?
One payment unlocks the full results of that search and a downloadable PDF. It is a snapshot of those results, not a subscription or an entry fee. There is no automatic renewal; check the purchase panel for availability.
Does “no entry fee” mean everything is free?
It means there is no fee to submit an entry. Materials, travel or optional purchases may still cost money. Our own creative programme is free to enter; the search PDF is a separate, optional purchase.
How do I know whether I’m eligible?
Check the current age or grade requirements, residency restrictions and accepted work. Our directory is a starting point; confirm the organizer’s current rules before applying.
How do I apply for an opportunity?
Follow the official link in the opportunity details and apply directly with the organizer. To enter our own creative programme, visit the Award page for its categories, rules and submission steps.
Why are some fees and dates unverified?
We do not assume that last year’s dates or fees still apply. Until current information is confirmed, a listing stays marked as unverified and is excluded from the corresponding strict filters.
Does a listing guarantee acceptance or an award?
No. A listing helps you find an opportunity; it does not guarantee eligibility, acceptance or a prize. Each organizer sets its own rules and makes its own selection decisions.
Where can I ask a question or report a correction?
Visit our Support page for help with this site or to report an outdated listing. Include the opportunity’s name and official link. For questions about an external application, contact its organizer directly.
