The 2022 Daring Award winners are a spectacular cast of winners that have done amazing things at a very young age. We celebrate community achievement, but also individual achievement - young people working to become the best they can be.
Regardless of whether you nominate yourself, your child, join the community at the DaringAwards.org and let’s embark on this journey to create a better world together!
Join the community & for a limited time, get a FREE graphic novel about the life of Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, who talked about his life story and how he became who he is to the original Rookie Reporters, Chamonix & Leon Fernandes. See the video here. We ask you only one thing - please do not distribute the link! Just direct people to this website.
Our goal is to inspire youth to believe in themselves and achieve great things. It doesn't matter what their interests might be. We are looking for daring youth that are happy to be different, try new things & build a better world.
Self Nominations are welcomed! But if you are under 13, you must get your parent or guardian to nominate you or approve your self-nomination. This is important.
Applicants should be in the age range 7-18. For the Singapore awards, applicants should be Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents or Student Pass holders regardless of the country they live in. Applicants from outside Singapore will be considered in a separate category.
Our approach is to adjust the selection based on the age of the nominees - if you / your child is on the younger side (say 7 years old) the nomination is considered differently from a teen. We may choose to have age-based categories for applications.
There is no fee to be paid either by the child, parent or the nominator of a Daring Awards Winner
Regrettably, the nomination must be in English and the conference will be in English. In the future, we hope we can make this more inclusive.

Winners Announced
A parent can nominate a child. You may include a portfolio, certificates, press or any relevant materials. Videos hosted on Youtube marked “unlisted” that is relevant to the child - whether a performance and / or the child talking about what he does and why is also acceptable.
We do not have a fixed number of awardees. So your child is not “competing” against another. Depending on the number of nominations, may choose to announce a shortlist and a finalist list as well and provide certificates for both winners and finalists.
Yes! First people often underestimate how good themselves. Next, we are building a community of youth that are passionate about a better world. We anticipate possibly having conferences where you will be able to participate and finally, you never know we announce you on a finalist list and it would still be a nice feather in your cap for your portfolio.
Daring Award winners will get a certificate and a chance to be featured in the media. This is something that you can use for any purpose -whether it be school or college admissions or just to frame up on your wall. It is recognition for what you’ve done and you deserve it! We plan on having a few special awards as well for youth doing interesting things for the environment, food waste or in media / content.
A global panel of leaders that know what it takes to make a difference will make selections on the recipients of the Daring Awards.
