The 24th "Child-Friendly World" competition has started!

04 July 2025
Applications are now being accepted for one of the most prestigious initiatives promoting valuable products and initiatives for children and young people. For the 24th consecutive year, the Committee for the Protection of Children's Rights is hosting the "Child-Friendly World" competition, which has been recognising items that support the development of the youngest since 2002, including smart books, safe toys, creative games, innovative accessories, and child-friendly places.

The "Child-Friendly World" competition is a unique social initiative that promotes products and projects supporting children's development, fostering a sense of security, empathy, and creativity. A jury panel composed of experts, including educators, psychologists, and representatives from cultural and media fields, will evaluate entries in as many as 16 categories. The competition is open to both new products and proven products presented in previous years. 

– We prosper for what is wise, good, and true;  we believe that a child's environment can support their development, build sensitivity, and teach empathy.  This competition is a choice made with heart and mind. The advantages of the Competition include the fantastic Jury Panel, the experience of our organisation, and the brand of the Competition itself, says Magdalena Stachowiak-Alexandrowicz, a member of the KOPD Board and the organiser of the competition from the very beginning.

Applications are accepted until 10 December 2025.
