One Young World Politician of the Year Award 2025 – YOA

Deadline: June 2, 2025

Applications are open for the One Young World Politician of the Year Award 2025. According to the Inter-Parliamentary Union, solely 2.8% of parliamentarians globally are beneath the age of 30, and solely 18.8% of MPs are beneath 40. In roughly 74% of higher chambers, there aren’t any MPs beneath the age of 30. This lack of illustration raises the substantial danger of disconnecting a whole era from nations’ political processes.

The One Young World Politician of the Year Award was created in 2018 to recognise the most promising younger politicians between the ages of 18-35 from round the world. The winners are chosen primarily based on the impression they’re having of their home international locations and the way they’ve used their place to profit younger folks particularly. It is the first international award recognising the work of younger politicians and was launched to counter the low degree of youth engagement in politics.
