Routes that are still live

Search the calls, then expand a card for the eligibility rule, Iraq/MENA access, dates, fee, award and required entry materials. Confirm all details on the current organizer page.

Before paying: global eligibility does not confirm that an Iraqi card or bank transfer will work. Verify payment, taxes, current deadline and terms with the organizer. Prize pools, stipends and project budgets are different forms of support.

Scheduled refresh / prototype

Discovery is broad.
Verification is strict.

This local website snapshot is dated 11 October 2026. A three-hour research heartbeat is scheduled to find and re-check calls. The standalone HTML itself does not browse or fetch updates; the scheduled workflow can update local content, while public hosting requires a connected deployment/update pipeline.

01 / DISCOVERGoogle + public socialInstagram, LinkedIn and Facebook are discovery surfaces; visibility and indexing are incomplete.

02 / VERIFYOrganizer rules firstDirectory and social posts are leads. Official organizer rules control final dates and eligibility.

03 / ROUTEFormal vs practicalCards separate nationality/status rules from Iraqi access, payment, language, travel and legal-entity friction.

Research boundary

A curated scan, not a global census.

Sources checked: six named directory sites, Google search, and public Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook discovery.
Instagram public indexed results did not independently verify current calls in this scan. Social-platform access and indexing are incomplete.
Only active or upcoming entry routes are listed here; expired entries are excluded.
Where a fee, date or payment path was not exposed or sources conflicted, the card says so instead of guessing.

What the refresh can do

Keep the local Atlas current.

The 3-hour heartbeat is intended to check new calls and amendments, verify organizers’ current rules, update this local prototype and remove closed entry routes. It does not place entries or payments. A public website will need a deployment connection to receive the local updates.
