NCYA 2023 Essay Writing Competition: Call for Submissions

Are you a Nigerian undergraduate with a passion for writing and a desire to showcase your creativity? Nigeria Campus & Youth Awards (NCYA) is pleased to announce the call for submissions for our 2023 essay writing competition!

Nigeria Campus & Youth Awards (NCYA) is an annual event that recognizes and celebrates the achievements of Nigerian undergraduates. The 6th edition of the NCYA is here, and it promises to be bigger and better than ever before!

This year’s NCYA features an essay writing competition with the theme “Breaking Barriers.” The essay competition is open to all Nigerian undergraduates who want to showcase their writing skills and creativity in commemoration of our focus on recognizing and celebrating Nigerian youths overcoming adversity and making a difference.

Nigerian youth have faced various challenges in their quest for success, including poverty, discrimination, limited access to education, unemployment, and more. Despite these obstacles, many young Nigerians have succeeded in breaking barriers and achieving their goals, making a positive impact on their communities and beyond.

We are inviting all Nigerian undergraduates to share stories of themselves or Nigerian youths breaking barriers in their pursuit of success with original and innovative essays.
