In the following years, some award winners started to represent Turkey in various international contests. At the 13th contest which was held in 2010, Eti Crax became the first named sponsor of the event. Starting from the 14th contest in 2011, Vodafone was the main sponsor, and remained so until 2016. Since the 15th contest in 2012, it is open to the participation of high schools from all around the country.
