Y4PT Speaker Contest is the first of its kind being held for the first time in 2021
We are launching a contest to find the best motivational and motivated young speakers to have their say on different topics related to our present and our future in the sustainable mobility world, climate change and sustainable lifestyle in urban and rural areas to discover ingenious talent, innovative concepts, and intriguing perspectives from professionals and first-timers alike. An opportunity to step on stage to inspire our event guests worldwide during our virtual youth dialogues!
The Contest is called naming Andy Warhol’s famous phrase: “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes“, which appeared in the program for a 1968 exhibition of his work at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden
We are searching for young speakers with greater clarity, authority, and emotional impact for a most effective speech
