Junior Chambers International (JCI) Dublin has opened nominations for its Ten Outstanding Young Persons (TOYP) Awards, with the winners to be honoured at a ceremony hosted at Dublin Chamber on Friday, 25 September. This year's awards mark a special milestone, coinciding with JCI's 70th anniversary in Ireland!

TOYP is JCI's flagship international recognition programme, celebrating young people whose leadership, innovation and impact are shaping their communities. Nominees can be put forward across ten categories: Entrepreneurship, Business, Innovation & Technology, Creative & Culture, Sustainability, Community & Voluntary Service, Inclusion & Equality, Advocacy & Public Impact, Law & Policy, and Resilience & Inspiration.

Nominations will be reviewed by an independent panel of judges, with a shortlist selected ahead of the awards evening. The ten honourees will be recognised at a celebration evening at Dublin Chamber, opening with a networking reception, and featuring a commemorative exhibition marking seven decades of youth civic leadership in Dublin, alongside talks from former JCI Senators and past Presidents reflecting on the evolution of youth participation in Ireland.

Dublin Chamber members are encouraged to share this opportunity with their colleagues, contacts and rising talent in their networks who may be eligible to be nominated. Dublin's honourees will go forward for consideration at national and global TOYP level, giving successful nominees the opportunity to be recognised beyond Ireland. Nominations close on Wednesday, 10 September, and can be submitted via the official TOYP nomination form.
