The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust (QECT) is delighted to launch the QECT 100 Young Leaders Awards, a landmark programme to celebrate the enduring legacy of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and her lifelong commitment to empowering young people across the Commonwealth.
Building on the inspiration of the Queen’s Young Leaders Awards, this new initiative will recognise 100 exceptional changemakers from across the 56 Commonwealth countries who are driving positive change in their communities. These Awards mark what would have been Her Majesty’s 100th birthday in April 2026, honouring her dedication to youth leadership, service, and innovation.
Applications are now open until 8th October 2025. We encourage all young leaders who are making an impact – whether through education and employability, environment, health, food and agriculture, and inclusion – to step forward and apply for this prestigious recognition.
