Calling on Alex youth to unlock the next generation of leaders
The 2023 Nedbank YouthX Awards entries are now open, and Alex youth are urged to take advantage of them in the hope of securing mentorships, cash prizes and much more.
Nedbank, a supporter of youth empowerment, has opened entries for the annual YouthX Awards that aim to unlock the potential of South African youth through mentorships, cash prizes, and much more.
A call has been made to Alex youth to join the 2023 Nedbank YouthX Awards to discover and unlock the next generation of leaders through the YouthX Awards, which remain an integral part of the YouthX movement and aim to shine a spotlight on youth aged between 18 and 26 who are unlocking their potential and making profound changes in their communities. Entrants are encouraged to submit their innovative ideas at unlocked.me until midnight on October 22.
Speaking on the new approach to this year’s awards, Khensani Nobanda, group executive for group marketing and corporate affairs at Nedbank, said in the past two years, the awards have attracted wide appeal from South African youth who are driven to pursue their goals and transform their lives and communities for a better society.
To ensure the YouthX Awards truly celebrate youth achievements, nominations are now open to the public and a panel of judges will evaluate each submission. The winners will be selected based on their outstanding contributions, innovation, and impact in their respective fields.
From the final 10 nominees, the final four winners will win their share of R245 000, which consists of support from a financial adviser, tech bundles, and a mentorship programme. The overall winner will be awarded a curated experience valued at R125 000 in line with the winning idea.
YouthX demonstrates Nedbank’s commitment to nurturing the talent, aspirations, and careers of South African youth and Changemaker of the Year Award winners, Keitumetse Pule (2021) and Ziyanda Dludla (2022) serve as shining examples of the impact YouthX can have on the lives of young South Africans. Winners will be announced at the annual YX23 on November 18 at Constitution Hill.
