The international award program Code & Create Award has reached the first major milestone of its 2025 season: submissions are now officially closed, and the numbers are impressive. More than 1,500 projects were entered across a wide range of categories, from indie developers to established product teams, from AI startups to digital design studios. Participants represent dozens of countries. Now, the jury takes the floor.
Recognizing Digital Excellence
Code & Create Award is not about recognition for recognition’s sake. The award was created around one simple but important idea: exceptional digital work deserves exceptional recognition. Websites and web applications, mobile products, games, AI solutions, interactive projects, creative coding, and UX/UI design all fall within the scope of the competition. Anyone can participate, whether it is a solo developer with an ambitious idea or an international team with a product already on the market.
The mission is clear: to give every strong project the platform it deserves, regardless of country, team size, or stage of development.
More Than 1,500 Entries — and That Says a Lot
When an international award attracts this volume of participants in its very first seasons, it sends a strong signal. The digital industry is ready for a platform where outstanding projects receive meaningful evaluation, not just another line on a portfolio.
Every submitted work is now being reviewed by an expert jury made up of senior engineers from leading technology companies, AI researchers, product leaders, startup founders, and active investors. They are not looking at presentation alone. They examine each project for what it truly is: its technical depth, understanding of the market, and real potential for growth.
“Honestly, this season has been a real challenge for us — in the best possible way. The quality of submissions turned out to be much higher than we expected. We had to reject the majority, not because the projects were weak, but because the standard we uphold leaves no room for compromise. Choosing among strong contenders was genuinely difficult.”
— Artem Novikovsky, Chair of the Jury Board, Code & Create Award 2025
The Future Is Already in These Projects
Among the 1,500+ submissions this season are solutions that could soon change how people work, learn, communicate, and build businesses. AI-powered tools that automate what once seemed impossible. Interfaces that rethink familiar user experiences. Products created by small teams but capable of reaching a global market.
“Some projects make you stop and pay attention immediately. You look at them and realize that what is in front of you is not simply well-executed work, but an idea with the potential to become something much bigger. That is exactly why this award exists.”
— Artem Novikovsky, Chair of the Jury Board, Code & Create Award 2025
Code & Create Award is more than a moment of recognition. It is an entry point into an international professional community. Winners and finalists receive an official laureate diploma, publication across the award’s media platforms with access to an international audience, direct exposure to investors and technology partners actively looking for strong teams, and priority access to future ecosystem programs, including accelerators and partnership collaborations.
For many participants, this becomes a genuine career and product springboard — not because the award description says so, but because the jury and partners behind Code & Create Award are people who help shape decisions across the global tech industry.
