“Dare to be remarkable.” – Jane Gentry
Understanding that youth are unique and all have different skill-sets and interests, CTYA created an award as part of Top Talents 2011 that would cater to those youth who are active and successful in other areas and fields.
The CTYA’s “Why I am a Top Talent” Award seeks to recognize an individual who has shown tremendous talent and ability overall within a category not included in the rest of our Top Talents 2011 Nomination Package. The recipient of this award must demonstrate in their personal statement why they deserve to be a “Top Talent” by highlighting their achievements, community service involvement, and extracurricular involvement.
Those who are currently working in a non-traditional field or category not included below in the Awards acategories must demonstrate their leadership in choosing that field, and how they have demonstrated talent and excellence. In addition, they must argue why their contribution in this field is necessary and beneficial to the field itself and also how it benefits the Tamil community.
Possible Fields (but not limited to): Architecture, Communication, Culinary Arts, Environmental Studies, Information Technology, Law, Media, Non-Profit, Policing, Teaching, Trades, or Urban Planning.
