The year 2018 will see Valletta 2018 collaborate with the prestigious Prix Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria, to create its own ‘Under 19’ competition for young people in Malta and Gozo for the first time. ‘Create Your World’ is the yearly theme and motto of this creative competition that’s open to youths aged 19 and under, and whose work incorporates digital art, mechanics, technology, music or computer design. Workshops invite youths to learn more about the unique categories and prizes of the competition’s local edition, with a call for submissions open between October 2017 and March 2018. Maltese winners will be guests of honour at a special prize-giving ceremony here in Malta and then fly to Linz for the Prix Ars Electronica Festival 2018 in September. Their work will then be hosted in a special exhibition at the Esplora Interactive Science Centre in November 2018.
