What can I enter?

Almost anything you like! Coolest Projects is a showcase for digital making, so your project must use code, computers, or digital technology in some way.
You can make something new or enter a project you’ve already made and are proud of. You can’t register a project you’ve submitted to Coolest Projects before, unless you’ve made significant changes to it.
Projects can be registered in one of seven categories, including a NEW AI category!
We love to see ideas and works in progress - projects don’t have to be complete to be entered.
We won’t accept projects that depict graphic violence, harm, or use bad language. See our Community Guidelines.

Who can enter?

Any young person up to age 18, based in India only.
Young people can enter individually, or in teams of up to five.
Young people over 13 can register their own project, or an adult mentor can register for them.
An adult mentor must register projects for young people under 13.
All digital making projects are welcome, whether they're beginner, advanced, or somewhere in between.
