With the right support and advocacy, young people have the passion, energy and insight to lead the change they want to see, for themselves, their communities and the world around them.

The Diana Award will be marking the historic Coronation of His Majesty The King by sharing the voices and reflections of young people from across the world.

Every year, we welcome 60 volunteer judges to assess nominations for the Diana Award. These judges are experts in their fields, comprised of a range of business and education professionals, social activists, and young people, some of which are Diana Award recipients themselves. What they all have in common is the belief that young people deserve to be recognized, valued and their accomplishments celebrated. We want to say a huge thank you to all of our dedicated judges for your commitment and passion – meet them all below.
