TEEN OF THE YEAR is an event with a mission - to empower you to let your inner light shine, make a difference to the world and give back to society in your own way.
Held annually, TEEN OF THE YEAR provides teens with a national platform to express themselves and give voice to their inner light - a means to translate their expression into action.
