What Is World Artificial Intelligence Competition?
WAICY 2026 invites students worldwide to build AI projects in showcase, generated art, generated video or language-model tracks. ReadyAI organizes the competition, with online and onsite participation and teams of one to five. Project submissions are due November 29, 2026 at 5 PM Eastern; the main schedule lists finals December 4–6. The website gives ages 6–18, while the guide says under 18, so entrants at the boundary should confirm eligibility. Follow the current track checklist and regional organizer route where applicable; fees and onsite logistics remain unverified.
