The Youth Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition is great for those who are driven to create positive social change and contribute to a sustainable future. The competition encourages participants to align their innovative ideas and projects with one or more of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which address pressing global challenges across social, economic, environmental, and health dimensions. You can enter the competition in one of two categories: "idea" for conceptual proposals, or "project" for initiatives that are already underway.

The process of the competition is structured into three distinct phases. Initially, you submit a short pitch of your idea or project. If your submission meets the established criteria, you advance to the next stage where you will engage with the Entrepreneurial Design Canvas (EDC)—a specially developed tool to help refine and articulate your proposal. Upon completing the requisite courses, your refined EDC is submitted for the second phase where all qualifying ideas and projects are published for community voting. The most popular submissions, as determined by votes, progress to the final phase. Here, an expert jury evaluates these entries and selects the winners, who are celebrated in an online award ceremony.
