Registration fees
One entry fee covers one competition entry through the review cycle.
The published fee is USD 65 for an individual entry and USD 125 for a team entry. A team fee covers one team of two to five eligible members; it is not charged per team member. The official Chase payment link is not available yet, so submit the form for eligibility review now. Do not pay until the organizer replies in your pre-registration receipt email thread with that link. The Chase payment page and receipt will identify PECULAB LLC as the U.S. merchant of record.
One individual entry submitted by one eligible participant.
Pre-register EntryOne team entry covering two to five eligible participants.
Pre-register TeamPre-registration does not create a charge. After the required materials are confirmed complete, the organizer will reply to the shared receipt email with the official Chase link. The payer must review and accept the non-refundable entry-fee policy before paying.
Why is there an entry fee?
The fee supports the work required to operate one entry through the competition: eligibility and completeness checks, submission administration, the qualified-reviewer and results process, public-voting administration for entries that opt in, and preparation of official digital recognition for qualifying award recipients.
What does the payer receive?
- Processing of one eligible individual or team entry.
- Access to the published competition framework and Future Blueprint structure.
- Qualified reviewer assessment under the published criteria, with conflict-of-interest safeguards, after eligibility review.
- Public showcase and voting eligibility if public display is selected.
- For award-eligible public entries, a digital certificate and website recognition only if the reviewer score reaches a published award threshold.
What is not included or guaranteed?
- Payment does not buy a favorable score, award, ranking, recommendation letter, mentorship, publication, internship, investor introduction, or speaking invitation.
- Bangkok travel, lodging, visa, insurance, local transportation, and related costs are not included unless separate support is announced in writing.
- Optional development opportunities depend on selection, partner availability, and organizer resources.
Entry rules and payment safeguards
Know the conditions before you submit or pay.
Eligibility and language
Participants must be ages 12-30. Groups A-C are individual entries; Group D is for teams of two to five, with every member ages 12-30. The Future Blueprint and one-minute concept video must be in English.
Payment sequence
Submit first for eligibility and completeness review. After the form is saved, the website automatically emails a registration summary to the organizer and copies the participant. After the materials are confirmed complete, the organizer replies in the same thread with the official Chase payment link.
Public and private entry fees
The same entry fee applies to public and private-review entries because both require eligibility administration, reviewer allocation, assessment, and competition-record processing. Public display is an optional publication pathway rather than a separately purchased service.
Non-refundable entry fee
No payment is required during pre-registration. Participants who do not accept the payment terms may decline payment and withdraw without charge. Once payment is completed, the entry fee is generally non-refundable because entry activation, administration, reviewer allocation, and competition operations begin. The limited exceptions stated in the Non-refundable payment policy below still apply.
Original work, AI, and conduct
AI tools may be used, but every tool and its purpose must be disclosed. Plagiarism, infringement, false information, vote manipulation, unlawful content, or other rule violations may result in disqualification or withdrawal of recognition.
Intellectual property
Participants retain ownership of their work. Materials approved for public display may be used by FIH for education, research exchange, event promotion, showcase, publication, and other non-commercial activity; separate written consent is required for commercial use.
Participants under 18
A participant under 18 must have parent or legal-guardian consent. The organizer may request evidence of that consent before activating the entry or publishing participant materials.
Development pathway
From student ideas to public showcase and presentation readiness.
The Future Solutions Challenge welcomes student ideas from around the world and helps promising projects become clearer, more visible, and easier to discuss with mentors and future collaborators.
The online challenge gives students a visible way to develop future-world solutions, explain their reasoning, and connect their ideas to real community needs.
Gold and Special Award recipients receive priority consideration for an invitation to give a three-minute presentation during the World Futures Intelligence Forum, scheduled for November 4–5, 2026 at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok. An invitation is conditional, not guaranteed, and travel-related costs are not included unless separate support is announced. Naming the venue does not imply United Nations endorsement of the challenge.
LearnHack focuses on practical education tools for today's communities; the Future Solutions Challenge extends that builder energy into 2036 scenarios, Future Blueprints, and English concept pitches.
Competition calendar
Clear deadlines, structured review, and a public voting sprint.
The online competition is designed so participants can submit early, complete eligibility and payment confirmation before judging, and invite supporters if they choose public display. Announcing selected works on September 22 leaves approximately six weeks for conditionally invited presenters to prepare for the November 4–5 Bangkok forum.

Public POC solutions showcase
Explore approved solutions, Future Blueprints, videos, and optional proofs of concept.
The sample project is visible now so participants can understand topic framing, future-scenario structure, judging expectations, and how an optional POC may be presented. After submissions close, approved public proposals will appear by participant group with direct links to each English video, Blueprint, POC, and approved optional materials. Public voting opens only during the evaluation phase.
A POC is optional. It may be a mockup, interactive prototype, working demo, website, video demonstration, public repository, or another testable representation. Entries without a POC remain fully eligible for the standard 100-point review.
The evaluation list opens when the organizer switches the competition phase in Firebase.
Judging criteria
Final selection combines review scoring and public support.
Reviewer scores determine Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Honorable Mention recognition for eligible public entries. A separate combined result—80% reviewer performance and 20% verified public support—is used for overall public ranking, People's Choice, and selected showcase opportunities.
Future Thinking
The 2036 scenario is specific, plausible, evidence-informed, and more than a description of today's situation.
Problem Definition
The pain point is real and clearly explained, including why current solutions are insufficient.
Solution Design
The proposed solution responds to the 2036 scenario with clear logic and persuasive design choices.
Potential Impact
Success metrics are specific and measurable, with meaningful social, environmental, or economic value.
Feasibility
The roadmap from today to 2036 is concrete, time-bound, and realistic.
Communication
The one-minute English video clearly explains the future scenario, problem, solution, and expected impact.
Community Support Matters
Approved projects can rally support through public voting. Verified public support contributes 20% of the separate combined result used for public ranking, People's Choice, and selected showcase opportunities; it does not change threshold recognition determined by reviewer score.
View Projects & VoteReviewer qualifications and conflict safeguards
Reviewers will be selected based on relevant professional, academic, industry, education, policy, innovation, or community experience. Individual reviewer identities may remain confidential to protect reviewer independence, reduce outside influence, and support candid assessment. Reviewers must disclose relevant conflicts of interest and may not evaluate an entry where impartiality could reasonably be questioned.
Results provided to participants
Participants will receive the final reviewer score or recognition result applicable to their entry after results are finalized. Individual written comments, detailed feedback reports, score explanations, or reviewer correspondence are not guaranteed unless separately announced in writing.
Public-voting integrity
Public support contributes 20% of the combined result for public entries and does not replace qualified reviewer assessment. Voting activity may be audited, adjusted, or excluded when abnormal, duplicated, automated, purchased, coordinated, or otherwise manipulated activity is detected. The organizer may request verification before confirming results.
How scores are used
Reviewer scores determine Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Honorable Mention recognition. For public entries, a separate combined result—80% reviewer performance and 20% verified public support—is used for overall ranking, People's Choice, and selected showcase opportunities. A public entry with a reviewer score of 90 or above remains eligible for Gold recognition even if its public-support result is lower. The organizer will publish the public-support normalization method before voting opens.
Submit required materials
Participants submit the FIH Future Blueprint PDF, English video, AI disclosure, and pre-registration information.
Review and shortlist
Eligible entries are reviewed and approved before they appear on the public leaderboard.

Participation and data policies
What participants agree to, and how their information is handled.
Organizer, payment administrator, and contact
The challenge is organized by Future Intelligence Hub, a program managed by Global ESG Leadership Organization. PECULAB LLC provides U.S. registration administration and serves as the merchant of record for Chase payment processing. The official payment email, Chase payment page, and receipt will therefore identify PECULAB LLC. PECULAB LLC is responsible for payment processing, receipts, verified billing corrections, and payment disputes, but does not acquire authority over reviewer scores or award decisions through this payment role. Registration and payment questions may be sent to peculab.ai@gmail.com.
Information collected and purpose
FIH collects identity, age eligibility, contact, school or organization, location, team, project, AI-disclosure, publication-choice, referral, and status information to administer eligibility review, communication, judging, voting, recognition, and the competition record.
Systems and limited sharing
Submission records are stored in Firebase. A registration summary is processed through FormSubmit to notify the organizer and copy the participant. Reviewers receive only the information reasonably needed to assess eligible entries. Information is not sold or provided to third parties for unrelated commercial marketing.
Retention, security, and payment data
FIH will use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect submission records and retain them only as reasonably needed for competition operations, integrity review, recognition, disputes, and applicable recordkeeping. Card numbers, bank credentials, and other sensitive payment credentials must not be submitted through this form and will not be stored in the public competition database.
Non-refundable payment policy
Entry fees are generally non-refundable after payment. No refund is provided for change of mind, voluntary withdrawal, failure to complete or maintain required materials, missed deadlines, disqualification for rule violations, loss of public-voting eligibility, dissatisfaction with scores or results, or inability to attend an optional in-person opportunity. Payment does not guarantee an award, ranking, certificate, publication, invitation, or other optional benefit.
A correction or refund may be issued for a verified duplicate payment, an incorrect amount charged, an unauthorized transaction, cancellation by the organizer without delivery of the paid competition service, or when otherwise required by applicable law or the payment provider's binding rules. Nothing in this policy limits non-waivable consumer or billing-dispute rights.
When paid service begins
Payment authorizes FIH to begin performance immediately by activating the entry, recording payment status, scheduling or allocating review, and administering the entry within the competition. For a participant under 18, the parent or legal guardian must review and accept the payment terms and complete or expressly authorize payment.
Private and public entries
Pending entries remain private from other participants. A participant who selects public display permits publication of the approved project title, participant or team name, scenario summary, video link, and approved materials. Private-review entries receive qualified reviewer assessment only and are not eligible for Gold, Silver, Bronze, Honorable Mention, Special Awards, People's Choice, certificates, public voting, website showcase, public award listings, or Bangkok representative selection.
Bangkok showcase cohort rule
The Bangkok representative-selection process will proceed only if the organizer determines that the eligible, payment-confirmed cohort is sufficiently competitive and suitable for meaningful selection. The organizer may cancel or withhold that process if the cohort is too small or does not meet the required quality, fit, or presentation-readiness standard. No age group, topic, award recipient, or participant is guaranteed an invitation, and live submission totals are not published during the open call.
Corrections, withdrawal, and data requests
Before the submission deadline, participants may request a correction or withdrawal by emailing the organizer from the address used to register and including the submission ID. Pre-registration may be withdrawn without charge before payment. Data-access or deletion requests will be handled subject to competition administration, fraud prevention, payment, and legal recordkeeping needs.
Rule changes and material notice
FIH may make reasonable changes needed for security, fairness, law, scheduling, or event operations. Material changes affecting fees, eligibility, deadlines, judging weights, publication rights, or participant obligations will be posted on this page and communicated to affected registered participants when reasonably practicable.
