There are only a few days left to apply for Faber, the Italian competition dedicated to young digital creatives who want to turn their talent into real opportunities.
Until March 13, 2026, you can submit your creative work and compete for a chance to join the Fabermeeting, two intensive days of networking, workshops, and direct exchanges with companies, along with many other prizes.
Inside Faber: what it is and how it works
Faber is not your typical competition. It is an ecosystem where young creatives and companies connect and begin building relationships that can evolve into professional opportunities.
The program is structured in two main phases. The first is the Italian competition, open from December 1, 2025 to March 13, 2026, which accepts digital works across four categories:
- Live action and animation
- Visual and graphic design
- Gaming, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality
- Web, apps, and social media
Selected participants will have the opportunity to attend the Fabermeeting, an exclusive two-day event in Italy (Turin, 22th–23th May 2026), featuring a packed agenda of workshops, talks, and direct engagement with companies, designed to make a real impact.
TOP-IX and Faber
The TOP-IX Consortium has supported Faber for many years and is pleased to be part of this edition as well.
TOP-IX will be part of the jury and will meet the competition winners during the Fabermeeting. Laura Pippinato, Data Visualization & Communication Strategy specialist at TOP-IX, will lead a workshop focused on data, storytelling, and creativity.
A growing community for 18 years
Faber has engaged over 1,000 young participants, partnered with more than 200 companies, awarded 150 projects, and collected 470 works from 623 creatives across six editions. Its partner network has grown from 14 organizations in 2008 to nearly 60 today—a steadily expanding ecosystem built over time.
To celebrate this milestone, a new initiative is launching: “Faber – Back to the Skill | Discovery Paths”, aimed at young people aged 16 to 29 as part of the Città dell’Educazione 16+ program by Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo. This initiative offers a series of meetings and activities with past winners and partner companies, designed to continue beyond the Faber Meeting.
Applications are open until March 13, 2026.
Faber is promoted by SocialTech, with the support of the Turin Chamber of Commerce, Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, and Torino Social Impact, with technical support from Weco.
