Ambassador for a Day 2024 Contest

24 January 2024

The contest for International Women’s Day is BACK for its 4th edition. This project aims to promote gender equality in Thai society by encouraging young people to address gender issues affecting their respective communities.

HOW TO ENTER THE CONTEST
Young people from 16 to 25 years of age are invited to compete for a chance to “shadow” women ambassadors and leaders of the UN in their organizations and attend the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) International Women’s Day commemoration (IWD 2024) on 8 March 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The competition is open to young people residing in Thailand, regardless of their gender, gender identity, sexuality, nationality or disability.

Previous Ambassador for a Day winners are not eligible to apply. If you participated last year and were not one of the awardees, you can re-apply.

1. Join the Ambassador for a Day augmented reality (AR) video challenge on the UN Thailand Instagram page (@uninthailand) by answering ONE question (out of 4 available questions) with your 90-second video clip, starting with your full name and then your answer. All entries should be recorded in one of the official languages of the Contest host entities and published on your public social media accounts with the hashtags #AmbassadorForADayTH #IWD2024 #เยาวชนบนเส้นทางนักการทูต in your captions.

2. To qualify, you must post your recorded video as a Reel, tag @uninthailand and verify your submission on our registration page before the Contest closes.
