Deadline Extension: 2023 Youth Innovation Challenge
Help us spread the word! The deadline to submit solutions for the 2023 Youth Innovation Challenge has been extended to 10 April 2023 at 11:59 PM (local time).
With the theme Water Solutions for Sustainable Development, the 2023 challenge invites North American youth, ages 18 to 30, to propose innovative solutions that address and respond to critical issues related to water including:
- The increase in the frequency of droughts, deforestation, forest fires and floods
- Climate change
- The release of toxic chemicals to surface waters
- The depletion of groundwater
- The litter and leakage of plastics, nutrients, and emerging pollutants into the water supply
- Other critical issues related to water
If you have an innovative solution related to this year’s theme, you still have time to submit your solution for a chance to win up to $15K CAD in seed funding, the opportunity to present your solution to North America’s top environmental officials, and networking and mentorship opportunities!
We encourage you to please share this information with any relevant networks so that more people can find out about this unique opportunity.
