YRE Competition: Vote for your favourite and help them to highlight their amazing work!

This year, we have received 229 submissions from 35 countries! They are all impressive and creative works from the young people.  

After meticulous pre-selection by a professional team from FEE Head Office, we are now sending out these shortlisted entries for the International Jury to decide the winners for different groups. 

Simply by clicking the “Enjoy” button on the upper right corner and sharing it with your friends. You have five votes at most for each entry! Enjoy the beautiful works, find your favourite, and help them to highlight their amazing work! 

The winners of the YRE International Competition 2021 will be selected by the Jury and announced at the beginning of September 2021.
