CAPSI Youth Competition 2025

The CAPSI Youth Competition 2025 is a Pan-African contest inviting teams or organisations owned and managed by young people (ages 18–35) to disseminate findings from a study on the nonprofit sector’s contribution to dignified work for African youth. Submissions can use digital media, visual arts, performing arts, interactive media, or writing formats. Prizes total up to $128,000 across four regional-winning proposals, with additional mentorship and visibility on CAPSI platforms and partner networks.

Prize funding up to US$32,000 per team, mentorship, visibility on CAPSI platforms and partner networks, and opportunities to present work at policy and donor forums across Africa.

Applications must be submitted by teams or organisations owned and managed by young people (18–35 years old). A vetting process will be conducted and false information will lead to disqualification.

Submit proposals as teams or organisations; undergo vetting; shortlisted teams will be interviewed and may present samples of proposed work.
