Hyderabad: Giving women aged between 18 years and 23 years a chance to head the diplomatic mission for a day, the British High Commission has invited applications for a pan-India competition to celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child.

Interested applicants can apply to be ‘High Commissioner for a Day’, by recording and uploading a one-minute video on ‘how can young people best support tackling the global challenge of climate change?’

The video must be shared on either Twitter, Facebook or Instagram by tagging @UKinIndia and using the hashtags #DayoftheGirl. The deadline to apply is September 22.

Alex Ellis, High Commissioner to India, said, “The International Day of the Girl Child is an important moment to recognise that educating all girls everywhere is not just the right thing to do, it is one of the smartest investments we can make to build a better, more equitable world.”

A jury at the British High Commission (BHC) will select the winner, who will be announced on @UKinIndia social media channels by September 28. Only one entry per participant will be accepted, a press release added.
