In order to build a different world together, adherence to a common vision is essential and is achieved through concrete projects. While there are many representations of dystopic futures, there is also a great deal of research and foresight work drawing positive alternatives for tomorrow's world. Article 1. Background The Organisers are launching the Positive Future competition to encourage, on this positive basis, the development and dissemination of mobilising imaginaries that convincingly and realistically describe a liveable and desirable future world. The competition is free and without obligation to participate. Article 2. Conditions of participation  Theme The Positive Future Competition is an online competition that allows participants to submit a story on the theme "Positive Future: the city in 2100". This topic invites us to rethink our lifestyles and urban spaces for the next century. What links to territories and rural spaces? 1 Sustainable and livable cities will serve as a backdrop to the narratives imagined in the works submitted to the competition.  Terms and conditions of participation Participation in the competition is free of charge. From April 1st 2021 at 8:00 am until May 31st 2021 at midnight, participants will be able to submit their works on the competition website, accessible at http://positive-future.org. They will have to respect the theme of the competition by proposing a story that articulates a credible and original vision of the cities of the future. These are not utopian futures, but possible futures, the advent of which is inspired by credible scenarios from scientific and technical as well as political and social points of view. Works must be submitted in PDF or MP4 format. The competition is divided into four categories: - Newspaper articles: maximum 10,000 signs (including spaces), with the possibility of including illustrations. - News or scenarios: maximum 20,000 signs (including spaces) - Videos or short films: maximum 10 minutes. - Comic strips/graphic novels: maximum 15 pages Candidates must indicate any use of a pre-existing original work or the participation of a third party in the submitted work.

Selection of the laureates A jury consisting of a panel of foresight specialists and personalities from science, industry, the arts, media and politics will meet between June and September 2021 to select the winners according to categories. Evaluation and selection criteria are as follows: - Originality, as well as the desirability and realism of the proposed vision of "the city in 2100" will be the main selection criteria. - The quality of the narrative and the capacity of the proposal to generate support and provide directly usable avenues for action will also be taken into account. The laureates in each category listed above (the "Finalists") will be notified personally by email in September 2021, at the address provided at the time of entry. 3 The names and surnames of the Finalists, as well as their works and their titles, will be published on the website and social networks of the Competition and the Organisers.
