# Create a Project

`Workspace.create_project()` creates a new project in the workspace and returns a `Project` object you can then upload images to.

```python
import roboflow

rf = roboflow.Roboflow(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

project = rf.workspace().create_project(
    project_name="Flower detector",
    project_type="object-detection",
    project_license="MIT",
    annotation="flowers",
)
print(project.id)
```

## Parameters

* `project_name` (str) - the display name. The URL slug is auto-generated from this.
* `project_type` (str) - one of:
  * `object-detection`
  * `classification`
  * `instance-segmentation`
  * `semantic-segmentation`
  * `keypoint-detection`
* `project_license` (str) - set to `"Private"` for private projects (paid plans only). Public-license values include `"MIT"`, `"CC BY 4.0"`, `"Public Domain"`, etc. - see the project creation form in the web app for the full list.
* `annotation` (str) - the annotation group: a noun describing what's being labeled (`"flowers"`, `"vehicles"`, `"defects"`). Used in the labeling UI prompts.
