We are excited to flag off the 2023 National Children’s Day Essay Competition to give young Nigerians the opportunity to share bright and original ideas, as well as stimulate their interest in solving national issues using technology.
With the topic – Making Nigerian Children Better Citizens through the use of Technology, children schooling between the ages of 9 and 16 are eligible to participate. Entries into the junior category (9-12 years) should not exceed 1,000 words, while entries into the senior category (13-16 years) should be a maximum of 1,500 words. The submission portal will be open from March 15 to April 14.
Participants are to submit original ideas, devoid of plagiarism, and must be endorsed by an accredited school official, parent, or legal guardian on the Competition’s official portal – www.systemspecs.com.ng/2023essay.
Schools that produce the winning participants in each category will be rewarded with 20 and 10 high-capacity personal computers, respectively. Also, we have introduced a new prize category to recognise States with the highest number of valid entries.
The first-place winner in each category of this year’s edition of the Competition will receive a high-capacity laptop, a top-notch headphone, a portable laptop stand, a smart wristwatch, 120-gigabyte internet data for one year, and other gifts at the national award ceremony to be held in Lagos.
Second-place winners will receive a high-capacity laptop, a top-notch headphone, 60 Gigabyte internet data for one year, and other goodies, while third-place winners will receive a high-capacity laptop, a branded hoodie, and lots more. The top 10 winners in both categories will also be handsomely rewarded.
“We are focused on equipping young Nigerians with opportunities to become technology informed, empowered, and fulfilled. We believe technology capability has become an essential component of raising globally competitive children and that Nigerian children should not be left behind,” said Oluwasegun Adesanya, our Group Head, Corporate Services.
