Commonwealth Youth Awards

Following the success of the first ever Commonwealth Youth Awards 2021 virtual event. First Image were asked again by the Commonwealth Secretariat to create the 2022 Awards Ceremony.

The awards celebrate the entrepreneurial contributions of young people from all of the 54 countries across the Commonwealth in achieving the UN global development goals and showcase the work of outstanding young people who are leading initiatives ranging from poverty alleviation to peace building.

Each year an outstanding entrant is named Commonwealth Young Person of the Year, with regional awards given for Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean and Americas, Africa and Europe.

There were just 4 weeks from being appointed to event delivery. The brief was to create “a live, engaging and inclusive event” that would be streamed to Facebook Live as the main platform, but which could also be broadcast by TV companies around the Commonwealth and reach as many people as possible around the world.

The programme was conceived in collaboration with our lovely production partner H2 who scripted, produced and filmed the finalists, host and some amazing musical acts, whilst First Image supervised the filming, led the creative design package, promotional content across all channels and handled the post production.
