Student Competitions in South America

South America is building a vibrant competition culture focused on sustainable development, social innovation, environmental science and entrepreneurship. Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Colombia are particularly active hosts, often partnering with international organisations to bring global standards and prize values to regional competitions. These competitions offer a less saturated entry landscape compared to European or North American equivalents, meaning your work has a stronger chance of standing out. Students interested in Latin American markets, Portuguese or Spanish-language research, and regional development challenges will find opportunities that align closely with their interests.
