Deadline: 27 April 2018
The RBC Audacious G7 Youth Challenge is open for young delegates from across the G7 which will focus on a number of core policy themes. RBC, Audacious Futures, and the Young Diplomats of Canada are coming together to extend this opportunity to all youth across the G7 to pitch their ideas.
Finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their ideas at a Post-Summit Event in late May and a chance to win one of three prize packages, from the $7,500 total prize pool.
While most policy summits are limited to high-level officials and a few youth delegates, the RBC Audacious G7 Youth Challenge aims to connect, enable, and mobilize G7 youth with external stakeholders on their big ideas, allowing unprecedented opportunity for young innovators to have their voices heard and responded to.
Themes
- The Future of Work
- Climate Change and Environment
- Gender Equality

Applicants have designed the challenge to be as simple and accessible to youth across the G7 as possible:
