Here’s a shoutout to all high school teachers and heads of institutions – do you have a student who’s exceptionally talented in something or a gifted all-rounder? Do you feel they will shine brighter with encouragement and acknowledgment of their efforts? The 18 under 18 Awards are looking for them.
The Telegraph Edugraph has instituted the 18 under 18 Awards, a first-of-its-kind initiative in eastern India, to spotlight talented youngsters under the age of 18.
The team of 18 achievers will be selected by a jury of educators and industry professionals from 50 shortlisted candidates.
Only schools located in eastern India can participate in the Awards, by nominating a total of up to three students who they feel deserve the recognition for their talent and achievements.
Who can be nominated for the Awards:
Students up to the age of 18 studying in schools located in West Bengal, Mizoram, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. Only nominations made by school authorities will be considered.
Who can nominate:
The principal, headmistress/headmaster, or director of the school.
The nomination process:
Each school can nominate up to three students showing talent and promise in a range of fields. Some of these areas are all-round performance, dance, music, art, acting, design, photography, sports, social work, gaming, coding, environment or nature conservation, debate, quiz, poetry, public speaking, technology and innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership.
The evaluation process:
A panel of jury will pick 18 students from a shortlist of 50 candidates, who will be selected from the nominations. The winners will be felicitated in a grand ceremony next year. The 18 achievers will receive trophies, gift hampers and certificates of excellence, while the remaining finalists will receive certificates of participation.
