Luxembourg Zonta clubs want to hear from women aged from 16 to 19 who have shown personal initiative, sense of responsibility and altruism for their annual Women in Public Affairs’ (YWPA) prize.

The prize is awarded to four worthy female students, who are evaluated based on volunteer experience in their school or association, leadership potential, as well as their engagement in advancing the status of women at a local or international level.

Winners receive a €500 prize enabling them to compete for the same distinction at the Zonta International level.

The deadline for applications is 21 February 2018.

Zonta International is an international association of service clubs which was created in the United States in 1919. Its main goal is to improve the legal, political, economic, educational, health and professional status of women in society.
