KIKUK 2.0
Artificial Intelligence – Creative and Critical

We are launching the global youth competition “KIKUK – Artificial Intelligence Creative and Critical” for the second time! This year’s motto is “My Future with AI”.  The KIKUK competition once again invites students from around the world to engage creatively and critically with the use of artificial intelligence – and to actively shape their own future.

Our motto for the 2025/2026 competition is: “My Future with AI”

  • How will AI change your everyday life?
  • How will we learn, work, communicate, and relax in the future?

Form a team and use an AI application of your choice to create your own AI artwork that reflects your vision of the future. Everything is allowed: videos, music, images, video installations, texts…

Submit your contribution by November 17, 2025!
