About The Verge Awards for Teens on the Verge of Greatness!
"Our mission is to celebrate and support the dreams of young creators, innovators, athletes and changemakers - teens on the verge of greatness – and empower them to use their passions to achieve positive impact in this world." Linda Neaton, Founder
With our Summer Festival, Creative Force for Good, Variety Benefit Shows and behind the scenes Dream Team challenges, all teens age 13-19 now have the opportunity to:
- shine in the spotlight of a virtual festival
- hear applause and encouragement from massive online audiences (and celebrities!)
- be discovered by college and other talent recruiters
- use their passions to increase awareness of causes they care most about
- host, star in and help produce and promote their own benefit variety shows
- raise $millions to invest in the most promising youth-led solutions
In other words, all teens on the verge of greatness can finally “Be seen, be heard and be the change.”
And this is all FREE thanks to volunteers and wonderful sponsors and donors!
Fans - you can help, just by watching! And even more by spreading the word! That's because the bigger the audience, the more sponsorship funds these amazing kids will raise. And we're relying on you, their families, friends, educators and community members to help make this a time in their lives they won't ever forget - in a good way.
Let's show them our love and support! (Sign the form below!)
With abundant hope,
Linda
