CFGL Young Leaders Essay Contest
The Center for Future Global Leaders, in partnership with Elite Educational Institute, invites students to exercise their leadership potential by using their written voices to say something meaningful. The essay topic for summer 2023 is: “Leadership can be defined in many ways. Choose a trait and explain why you think it exemplifies leadership. How have you experienced or incorporated this trait in your own life?”
CFGL Young Artists Contest
The ability to express oneself boldly is a trait found in many of the world’s most influential people. The Center for Future Global Leaders, in partnership with Elite Educational Institute, seeks to recognize and encourage artistic expression in today’s youth. This summer, CFGL invites young artists entering grades 10-12 to explore—through visual art, photography, video, music, poetry, and any other creative medium—the idea of discovery. Submit an original work of art inspired by the following quotation:
"Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different."
― Albert Szent-Györgyi (1937 Nobel Prize winner)
CFGL sponsors the International Academic Competitions (IAC), a triad of academic competitions that seek to recognize outstanding achievement in the areas of essay writing, mathematical problem solving, and mastery of English vocabulary.
CFGL also sponsors a number of other regional and project-specific competitions globally, often in partnership with reputable local educational organizations and schools.
