ITS Contest 2025 – Borderless

You can’t stop your mind from wandering - human imagination knows no limits. It explores freely, expanding and crossing boundaries, speaking no single language yet all at once. Embracing every culture, every idea, every vision. Making new ones.

Creativity has always been our domain, a universal land of perpetual motion and peace. Now, more than ever, ITS Contest is BORDERLESS.
