The "Jeunes Flammes" competition is a design competition organized by Gaz de France for design students. For the past seven years, it has been open to any student attending a French design, art, architecture or engineering school.

For the second year, in line with the group's international development drive, the competition is opened to seven European design institutions: the Escola Massana, Barcelona; the Hochschule der Künste, Berlin; the Hungarian University of Craft and Design, Budapest; Kingston University, London; the Istituto Europeo di Design, Milan; the ESAD, Porto and the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, Prague. This year, the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow has also been invited to participate.

The competition runs from September to December during which time students can consider their projects, either individually or in groups. Some lecturers even choose to integrate the competition theme into their curriculum.
Students must submit two layout boards (50 x 65 cm), presenting drawings, plans or summary images accompanied by explanatory notes on the concept, their focus, materials, etc… All keys and copies must be submitted in both French and English.

The projects are evaluated and winners are selected in January and February. The selection is then carried out in two phases :
- first, a technical jury, consisting of employees from Gaz de France and Plan Créatif, carry out a pre-selection and select a shortlist of around twenty projects.
- then, a honorary jury, presided over by the group's Communications Director, M. Patrick MAGD, and consisting of designers, journalists, industrialists and representatives from Gaz de France, is responsible for selecting the prize winners and nominated projects.

All projects are submitted anonymously and identified only by a personal code. Each entrant is sent their personal code when entries close in November.
All the short listed projects are displayed at the awards ceremony attended by the students, designers, industrialists and journalists. Students awarded a nomination receive a prize of 300 Euros, the winner of the 1st prize receives 4 600 Euros, the winner of the 2nd prize 3 100 Euros and the winner of the 3rd prize 1 600 Euros. The jury reserves the right to award special commendations.

The "Jeunes Flammes" competition is open to any student attending a French
design, art, architecture or engineering school. For the second year, the
competition is also open to eight European institutions: the Escola Massana,
Barcelona; the Hochschule der Künste, Berlin; the Hungarian University of
Craft and Design, Budapest; Kingston University, London; the Istituto
Europeo di Design, Milan; the ESAD, Porto; the Academy of Arts, Architecture
