ABOUT THE COMPETITION

The Horizon 2100 International Youth Competition '19 is a science fiction and science fiction competition in which young people aged 16 to 26 from any country, nationality, ethnic group and people present their vision of the future at the turn of 2100, which was held for the first time in 2019.

The choice of the 2100 horizon was not accidental. Young people, being the main generator of change, themselves represent the foreseeable future and it is they who will have to shape the subsequent scenarios of its development. And the level of implementation of certain scenarios for the development of this future - the future of economies and societies of countries and civilizations - depends on how it perceives the future, optimistically or pessimistically, to what extent and for how long this perception remains.

In order to successfully implement the Project, the Organizing Committee, the International Jury of the Competition, the Expert Council and the project organizing group were formed.
