International Day of the Girl Child: entries invited for ‘British High Commissioner for a Day’ contest

To celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child, the British High Commission is offering Indian women aged 18-23 a chance to spend a day as one of the UK’s top diplomats.

The British High Commission is inviting applications for the ‘British High Commissioner for a Day’ contest, which is a unique opportunity for talented young women from India to share their strengths with the world.

A statement said those interested can record and upload a one-minute video answering: ‘How can young people help lead the way in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?’. The video should also be shared on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn by tagging ‘@UKinIndia’ and using the hashtag ‘#DayOfTheGirl’.

The last date for submitting the online entry is August 18. A jury at the British High Commission will select the winner and only one entry per participant will be accepted.

The British High Commission has been organising the competition annually since 2017 to celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child on October 11. Last year’s winner of the competition was Jagriti Yadav from Lucknow.
