Nearly 5,000 picteists, across five continents
Taking part in the Competition means joining its alumni community for good — the “picteists”: lawyers, diplomats, humanitarian delegates, academics and officers all over the world.
The network.
The picteist network carries from edition to edition: the volunteers who run the Competition all come from it, and the directory of picteists keeps alumni in touch.
Since 2026, community life — the directory, messaging, edition memories — happens on PictetTime, the Competition’s platform, reserved for members.
In their words.
“A week at the Competition is worth a semester of classes” — the phrase keeps coming back among alumni. For many, the Competition was the starting point of a career in humanitarian action, international justice or diplomacy.
