This year the competing engineers are invited to implement and present ideas that raise the standard of living of cities, improve our daily lives in them and more broadly make cities smarter (Smart Cities). Equally acceptable are anthropocentric ideas which are related to Εὖ ζῆν, that is, ideas which generally enhance the quality of life of people or in particular of a social group (elderly, disabled, destitute etc.). The competition aims to promote original ideas, which is why the contestants are free to implement without restriction their own original ideas and claim one of the three prizes of the competition.

The projects will be evaluated based on originality / innovation, technical excellence, as well as their social and economic impact and future perspective. An equally important role in the evaluation is the degree of integration of projects. In addition, guidance, always in an advisory role, by a teacher is permissible.
