Registrations are open, and youth aged 16 to 21 are invited to participate in the WixTomorrow Creators of Tomorrow Challenge. The last date for entry submissions is April 29, 2024.
Creators of Tomorrow is a website creation challenge designed to equip young innovators (ages 16-21) with future-ready skills, entrepreneurial mindsets, and professional tools to be the trailblazers of tomorrow. How will you create the Tomorrow you want to live in?
Your first step is to choose an impact space that speaks to you and start brainstorming ideas for your website. Learn more about the four impact spaces below.
Sustainable Living
How might we build a healthy, thriving, and secure future for all?
A thriving future is a healthy future — one with accessible healthcare, affordable and nutritious food, and clean, thriving communities and housing. If you’re interested in this topic, you’re thinking about helping people from the inside out.
Lifelong Learning
How might we expand possibilities through high-quality education and career opportunities?
The future needs creative thinkers, curious explorers, and complex problem-solvers, and it all starts with unlocking youth power through exceptional education. If you’re interested in this topic, you’re drawn to creating pathways of empowerment and the idea of lifelong learning.
Equitable Futures
How might we ensure an equitable, fair, and inclusive world for all?
Everyone deserves a bright future, but we have a long way to go to achieve an equitable future for all. If you’re interested in this topic, you’re thinking about uplifting your community,, social justice, and/or designing for underrepresented groups.
Climate Action
How might we combat climate change and create a clean, flourishing planet?
Climate Action is one of the most urgent issues of our time, on a local and a global scale. If you’re interested in this topic, you’re thinking about promoting sustainability, impacting climate legislation, and ensuring a healthy future planet for all.
