The Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment (CAPSI) wishes to thank all applicants for their incredible response to the Pan-African Youth Competition: Young Creatives to Disseminate Research Findings.

We have received an outstanding number of submissions from across the continent, reflecting remarkable creativity, innovation, and dedication from young African storytellers.

Given the high quality and volume of entries, the judging panel requires additional time to conduct a thorough and fair review process. As part of the final evaluation, shortlisted candidates will be invited for interviews to present and discuss their submissions.

We appreciate the enthusiasm, patience, and commitment shown by all participants, and we remain inspired by the powerful ideas being shared to make research more accessible and relatable across Africa.
