Upcycl from Milton Peters College won the very first, National Youth Pitch Competition! Their business addresses the problem of plastic pollution by taking plastics and making them into commercial goods for example products that can be used for making roads. They won ANG 10 000 and a trip abroad in 2023.
Congrats also to SmartHax of St. Dominic High for being the Crowd Favorite and won ANG 2 500.
