Thank you for your interest in the Youth Leadership Competition 2023. Submissions are now closed.
Essays will be judged on the basis of originality, creativity, use of language and appropriateness to contest theme.
Due to an overwhelming number of submissions, the Institute will only contact those that have been shortlisted. Up to five winners will be selected. They will be notified via email during the third week of February 2023.
Winners will be asked to create posters to visually describe their ideas. The posters will be showcased at the African Leadership Forum (ALF) 2023, to be held in Accra, Ghana.
Winners will receive their awards at a prize giving ceremony during the ALF Gala Dinner. The ceremony will be attended by senior leaders from across Africa, representing public, private and third sectors.
A grand prize of USD $2,000 will be awarded to the overall winner, and they will be asked to read their essay at the dinner event.
