The Dr Ivan Šreter Contest for New Croatian Words by the Jezik journal: purpose, results and similarities with contests in the United States and Germany

The paper explains the best words from the 2020 contest in detail and provides an overview of all the best words chosen so far. Croatian, German, and American contests are compared based on their selection and inclusion criteria of the words. The best new words are not imposed on speakers but are proposed as an alternative to foreign origin words, or as names for new terms. The competition encourages Croatian speakers to have a creative attitude toward their own language.
