WORLD SUMMIT YOUTH AWARD

The Winners of WSYA 2009 have been selected...

Up to 100 participating countries made it possible to have a great number of fabulous entries that take action in the cause of the UN Millennium Development Goals.

The over 600 projects were evaluated in a three-round judging process by an international jury of 20 experts in the fields of youth engagement, new media and social entrepreneurship. Please find the winners under "Contest 09".

The WSYA winners will take centre stage in Monterrey, Mexico during the United Nations Global Forum on ICT and Development and WSA Winners Celebrations in June 10-13, 2009. They will showcase their projects to government and business leaders, representatives of civil society and the international community.

We would be happy to find many of you at the WSA Gala Events too...

The World Summit Youth Award (WSYA) is the global contest for online or mobile initiatives to raise awareness and help resolve the most pressing global issues.

If you rely on the web for creating culture, overcoming gender inequality, lack of education and access to clean water or to address hunger, poverty, disease and environmental degradation, then you should take part!

The World Summit Youth Award showcases you as young developers and serves as a platform for people from all UN member states to work together on the efforts of reaching the Millennium Development Goals!

The rewards are global recognition within the United Nations, invitations to the WSYA Winners events in Mexico and networking contacts on a global scale.

Please let us spread the word about how you’re helping reach the MDG’s with innovative use of the Internet!
