International Competitions for Students
International Competitions for Students
Discover international competitions for school pupils, university students and emerging professionals across art, writing, photography, science, mathematics, coding and design. Some competitions accept online entries from multiple countries, while others restrict participation by citizenship, residence, institution or education level. Always check the official organizer’s entry rules before applying.
How to choose an international student competition
School students: Check grade or age bands, parental consent and whether teachers must register entrants. University students: Check undergraduate, postgraduate and recent-graduate eligibility, whether team entries are accepted and any institution requirements. Open-age entrants: Verify that the competition is not restricted to enrolled students.
Compare the submission format, official deadline and time zone, entry fee and currency, prize conditions, certificate availability and intellectual-property terms. A free entry does not necessarily include a free certificate, and an online contest is not necessarily open worldwide.
