MUMBAI: Cartoon Network Africa is teaming up with charity organisation – Save The Children for the Powerpuff Girls Awards, which is set to launch in August and aims at empowering and celebrating young girls between 9 and 14 years in Africa, who are seeking to showcase their super-powers.

Split into three categories, each representing a Powerpuff Girls character, entrants will be able to submit projects in the Science and Tech Inventor, Social Helper and Artistic Creator categories. Each category has been built on the inner power and special ability of each of the three Powerpuff Girls.

The Buttercup Award targets girls who celebrate excellence in science and technology by developing an invention that has raised the bar. The Bubbles Award will go to a girl who is always using her imagination to create artistic pieces, in any form, that represents girls' empowerment. Finally, the Blossom Award will be given to the entrant that is smart, positive and has a strong moral compass, someone who makes a remarkable difference for the greater good, teaches awe-inspiring lessons and wishes to take their idea further.

Entries for the awards open from 15 August to 15 October 2018. Each winner, from each of the three categories, will receive $1500 to help bring their award-winning entry to life with the help of a dedicated mentor, including Toya Delazy as the artistic creator mentor.

“Save the Children is a child rights organisation which aims to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats its children. As the African arm of this organisation, we are proud and honoured to partner with Cartoon Network on this event. We cannot think of a better way to inspire change, than to partner with an organisation that celebrates young girls and their achievements. We look forward to engaging with the young girls who rock for Africa,” says Save the Children South Africa CEO Gugu Ndebele.
