Past Competitions and Awards

The United Nations, agencies and partners, organise and support a variety of competitions and contests around the world. Those listed in this category have ended, but with many organised annually, it gives you time to get ready for next year’s competition.

These can be video or photo challenges, art and graphic design, essay contests, coding and mobile app development, and many other types. Through them, citizens are informed and engaged around thematical issues of vital importance to the organisation. Competitions and contests represent a great way for the organisation to communicate on its goals and objective, and gather feedback from citizens around the world, in a fun and interactive way.

Students, educators, parents, children, and families around the world can get involved. Bookmark this page to stay up-to-date with the latest challenges on offer.
