This is the largest competition of youth design and art, which will be held in St. Petersburg for the fifth time. Last year, the competition for the first time went beyond the citywide framework and united over three thousand students and recent graduates of 147 universities and colleges from more than 70 cities of Russia.
In total, the main program “Young Design/Young Design-2024” included 16 unique nominations, developed jointly with leading specialized universities and large partner companies of the competition.
The participants and guests at the opening ceremony were welcomed by the Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Vladimir Knyaginin. He noted the high demand of the city’s economy for specialists in various design fields, which is confirmed by both the growth of their professional status and the level of material remuneration. St. Petersburg is interested in increasing the labor market of specialized specialists as an important component of the city’s productive material force. And holding such competitions helps to reveal their professional potential.
We are open not only to those who are currently studying in various design areas, but also to all students who would like to demonstrate their creative abilities in this competition with the support of mentors and tutors. I have no doubt that for many of them this will be an important step in their professional growth and achieving career success, – noted Vladimir Knyaginin.
Students of higher education institutions and colleges, as well as graduates of the last three years, can take part in the competition. Applications are accepted until October 13. Detailed information about the competition, its nominations and partners posted on the website.

The project is being implemented using a grant from the President of the Russian Federation, provided by the Presidential Grants Fund.
The main goal of the event is to support talented youth, attract young artists and designers to work on large projects of partner companies, and develop and implement promising ideas for enterprises in the real sector of the city’s economy.
