THE THIRD UTOPIAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP HAS STARTED!
The Utopian World Championship (UWC) is an open, global competition in utopian thinking and writing that has been arranged twice since the launch of the first competition in March 2001.
We are now proud to be able to announce the third Utopian W.C. for 2010-2011 open for registrations. Leave your name and a correct e-mail address in the field below and we will contact you with further instructions when it is time to advance to the next step.
The official opening ceremony will take place at The Knot on Kopa Cwila in Ursynów in Warsaw on July 3, 7 pm.
Number of registrations: 3
Two champions has received a first prize of about 10,000 Swedish Krona in Euro and we have printed their essays and distributed them to Heads of State, governments, organisations and other institutions. All essays that participated in this contest are available for you to read on this website and the winning documents can be downloaded as PDF files.
EXPLORE NEW WORLDS!
With the new website we've collected all participating entries in the two championships in one database and made an interface, which will hopefully make them easier to read. While you're here you should definitely meet the two champions: Cyril Belshaw (2004) and T.R.O.Y. (2001), and the jurors that elected them. You can download and read their essays and all the other entries of the championship. Or enjoy the pictures from the gala nights when the winners were announced.
We have more in store for you: articles from the events we've hosted or participated in. Video from the UWC Conference, articles with focus on Utopia and much more.
The Utopian World Championship is organised by former members of SOC, an experimental forum for art and social debate. The project has been supported financially by The Foundation for the Culture of the Future and the Swedish Art Grants Committée

The last days the Knot has been boiling with a workshop frenzy that amazes me. Its a level of frenzy which is only matched by the kids that fervently jump around in the white ball-filled play-landscape.
