Canon Young Champion of the Year award is for the next young person who has campaigned for a good cause around a social or environmental issue. If you are passionate about supporting a local or global issue, then you can submit an entry to this free-to-enter category, sponsored by Canon EMEA.
Judges will award winners from two different age groups (under 16’s and under 21s) and will consider applications from more than one candidate per entry, e.g. where siblings, friends or groups have worked together to champion change.
