Teens Who Want To Make A Difference To Represent Alberta On TV

The Top Teen of North America competition is inviting youth from Alberta to represent their communities in a continent-wide competition to determine who will be North America's most outstanding teenager, to be televised later this fall.
Selected candidates will come to Vancouver, BC, for a week this July where they will attend professional workshops on issues directly related to youth, receive training in a variety of genres ranging from interview skills, media relations, modelling training, health and much more. They will interact with youth from all corners of North America and tour various sites of Vancouver and the surrounding area. A judging panel will view each contestant in a variety of settings and competitions, including a speech presentation, various interviews, a personal showcase and attitude and deportment to determine who will be the leading Teen of North America. 
There is over $5,000 in cash scholarships to be awarded during this competition, the top prize of $3,000 to go directly to the overall Top Teen of North America winner. This will be the third year of the competition, which began as Top Teen of Canada in 2008 and has now grown to invite contestants from the US and Mexico. The final event will be filmed for television and broadcast on CHEK TV and potentially other networks as well.
Each contestant will take part in fundraising for the Canadian and American Cancer Societies. The winner will represent teenage interests and issues during the upcoming year and will serve as a role model of leadership and community involvement across the continent.
