The 2017 recipient from Papua New Guinea, Tess Gizoria, would like to see more Pacific Islanders be involved.
She is making the call to young leaders to try out this year.
“The search is on. If you’re a young person here in PNG or anywhere else in the Pacific, please we would like to have more Pacific Islanders awarded this award next year.
“This is the last year and there’s no other young leaders award after that. Please do get your applications,” she said.
Gizoria and another young female, Johnetta Lili, were recipients of the Queens Young Leaders 2017.
