In 2017, IAAF organized a Project Competition across universities in Lebanon. The objective of the competition is to encourage the youth to apply their creativity in developing new ideas and in design, and to help them implement their projects as a first step to achieve their own financial independence.

The program reflects the spirit and values of IAAF, and the dedication of its founders to motivate the youth to express their creativity, to transform their energy into productive outcomes, to Dare to Dream. The aim is to offer the youth to develop an entrepreneurial spirit and to pursue opportunities and persevere till the end.

The projects of participating students in this competition will be evaluated and judged by a jury formed at each university. Five projects from each university will be shortlisted and sent to IAAF for jury evaluation, and a single project from each university will be declared as winner. In addition to the valuable financial prizes that will be awarded to winners, IAAF will also provide media exposure needed to advertise their projects. Hence, IAAF is not only interested in triggering the creativity and innovativeness, but also in providing them access to the necessary resources that enable them to transform this creativity into viable business projects for the future.
