Abstract: Through our periodic prize competitions, the Hodges Foundation for Philosophical Orientation seeks to philosophically confront some of the most pressing reorientations humanity faces in the 21 st century.The current digital transformation increasingly affects all dimensions of our orientation, most noticeably in how we communicate, process and store information, work and move in our everyday life, but also with regard to big data, universal surveillance, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things -to just mention a few main keywords.However, it is unclear how this change currently impacts our life and what the long-term consequences will be.As such, through our prize competition, we want to make a contribution to addressing this transformation and provide some initial footholds.On the day of our foundation's inauguration, on October 25, 2019, we also launched a prize competition concerning the question of this volume, "How Does the Digitization of Our World Change Our Orientation?" and offered the following prize awards:-1 st prize award: $25,000 -2 nd prize award: $15,000 -3 rd prize award: $10,000 -A special student award of $5,000, if no student is among the best three
