The Nedbank YouthX Summit awards young bright minds

Following four successful YouthX live events hosted across South Africa focusing on Arts and Culture, Sports and Entertainment, Social Good and Sustainability as well as Tech and Innovation categories where young people were inspired and had their potential unlocked, Nedbank will now be hosting the most anticipated YouthX event for the year – the 2022 YouthX Summit. Taking place on Saturday, 3 December, at Victoria Yards in Johannesburg, the event will see four winners receive recognition and awards for entering their work as part of this year’s YouthX Awards.

Hosted by presenter and actor Moshe Ndiki, the annual closing event on the YouthX calendar is the hottest ticket in town and the ultimate youth festival. This is where Nedbank will be announcing the 2022 winners who will each receive over R300 000 worth of prizes, including R50 000 in cash, a Huawei technology bundle, as well as a mentorship, learning and networking opportunity. 

Candidates were tasked to be innovative and creative, and to come up with ideas that could work in the real world and uplift their communities. Entries were judged with a percentile weighting based on creativity (40%), innovation (40%) and community upliftment (20%).

The awards, which are part of the programme, were created to inspire the youth and give them the opportunity to win prizes and resources to fund their business ideas, existing businesses or opportunities to further their careers.
