SAFEonLINE 2023

Are you a high school student, interested in art and technology and aged 14 years or older? Fed up of seeing the same old images of men in hoodies and green 1s and 0s? Through your creativity and originality, you can help change the way Internet safety and cybersecurity are depicted.

For the third time, EURid, the domain name registry for the .eu and its variants in other scripts (.ею and .ευ), is launching a major competition and is seeking original visuals on the themes of cybersecurity and Internet safety. Winners could have their artwork exhibited in the centre of Prague and in two other European cities, as well as win prizes up to the value of 300 EUR.

Successful entries must depict an aspect of cybersecurity and Internet safety. The theme can be approached from a variety of angles such as cybercrime, increasing trust and confidence, privacy on the Internet, cyberbullying, the future of cybersecurity, phishing, technical security, information verification, identity theft and more.
