A brand-new creative
challenge, every month.
Every month, students receive a new challenge brief inspired by a real-world theme or global day. They have 28 days to explore and experiment with the problem statement, ideate and create in their own time, become part of a growing community of young creators — and a chance to be featured at NEXT.
Six months.

Each challenge unlocks on the 1st of its month. Peek at what's coming — then jump in the moment it opens.
Themes shown are the planned line-up and may evolve. Full briefs, judging details and the entry button appear the moment each challenge opens.
