The category recognises young leaders who are driving positive change across all areas of sustainability, inspiring action from others through their impactful examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The category was originally inspired by the Canon Young People Programme (CYPP) (<a href=\"https:\/\/r.news.africa-wire.com\/mk\/cl\/f\/sh\/7nVU1aA2ng3nQEyQnMdZPbCQTjBJLwR\/ndYrLrfN-vRw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/apo-opa.co\/3W87XFX<\/a>), which gives young people the knowledge, skills and confidence to tackle the sustainability issues that matter to them, using creativity and critical thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, the CYPP demonstrates Canon\u2019s continued commitment to using imaging for good, having worked with over 50 global partners and reaching over 10,000 young people across Europe, Middle East and Africa through storytelling workshops, exhibitions and speaking opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judges selected two category winners from a pool of outstanding applications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Under 16s Winner: Samantha Fung<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From Canada and currently studying in the Netherlands, Samantha is the founder of Music For Every Child, a charity to fight against unequal education for children with developmental disabilities and other disadvantaged children. Her initiative provides music therapy, offering a unique avenue for learning and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Under 21\u2019s Winner: Allison Choong<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Malaysian youth activist and illustrator, Allison co-created Safiya Speaks Up, a multilingual children\u2019s book and mentor\u2019s guide on sexual and domestic violence, reaching over 10,000 girls globally. Her work dismantles stigma around gender-based violence, using art and advocacy to spark critical conversations in classrooms and communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications were assessed by an inspiring panel of category judges, including Del Barrett, Founder and Chair of Hundred Heroines, Katie Rabone, CEO of Community People and Jodie Bailey-Ho, Canon Young Champion runner-up in 2023 and Diana Awards winner in 2024. The two age group winners (9-16 and 17-21) will receive a Canon R50 Content Creator Kit (worth nearly \u00a31,000) or a Storytelling Masterclass with a Canon Ambassador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter Bragg, Canon EMEA Sustainability &amp; Government Affairs Director said: \u201cCongratulations to this year\u2019s GGA Canon Young Champions and thank you to all who entered. Each year we are moved by the quality of applications and the winning submissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we celebrate the sixth cohort of winners, we also mark the ten-year anniversary of the Canon Young People Programme, a significant milestone in our commitment to enabling young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to tell the stories that matter most to them and drive positive change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Canon Central and North Africa (CCNA).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canon Europe Middle East &amp; Africa (https:\/\/en.Canon-CNA.com\/), a world-leading imaging company, has announced the winners of the Canon Young Champion of the Year category at the 2025 Global Good Awards.
