What Is Crimson18u18?
Meet the Trailblazers of 2023
In a world that's constantly evolving, young people are not just following trends or waiting for solutions — they're shaping the future and pushing the boundaries of innovation. To spotlight the drive and early achievements of these young scholars around the world, the Crimson18u18 initiative selects 18 young visionaries under 18 each year, recognizing and celebrating the remarkable contributions they're making to their communities and to society. This year, after a rigorous selection process, we are thrilled to showcase our 18 winners for 2023, each a testament to the vision, innovation, drive, and contributions of diverse teens around the world.
Crimson18u18 is a global accolade launched by Crimson to recognize and honor the outstanding achievements of high-school students, all with a goal of identifying talented teens, elevating their profiles, nurturing their potential, and hopefully inspiring them to take on new and even greater challenges.
In addition to shining a spotlight on the exceptional talents and accomplishments of each year’s young winners, the initiative seeks to recognize and reward their achievements and sacrifices, magnify their contributions, and help them discover connections and opportunities that equip them for success as the emerging innovators, thinkers, and leaders of the next generation.
This year, we received an overwhelming number of submissions from talented youths worldwide, showcasing stories of passion, pioneering leadership, perseverance, and idealism. Their achievements, more than individual triumphs, are also stunning reminders of the boundless and often overlooked, untapped, and unharnessed passions and potential of youth around the world.
