TECNO has unveiled the winners of its #MyPowerMoment Challenge, marking the conclusion of a continent-wide initiative celebrating African creativity, youth expression, and football culture inspired by the Africa Cup of Nations.

The challenge, which spanned East and West Africa, invited students and young creators to share personal moments of triumph, joy, and self-belief through short-form content. Submissions ranged from football-watching reactions and campus celebrations to deeply personal stories of growth, attracting thousands of entries from across the continent.

Organisers reported receiving over 10,000 entries, demonstrating strong engagement from young Africans and highlighting football’s role as a unifying cultural force.

After the evaluation process, 10 creators were selected as grand prize winners. Four Nigerian students were among the winners, alongside six from Tanzania and Kenya. The Nigerian winners include Kabir, a cybersecurity student at Bayero University Kano; Sedu, a theatre arts and film studies student at the University of Lagos; Iroegbu Praise Kelechi, a human physiology student at the University of Port Harcourt; and Roxy Omar, a TikTok content creator.

Each winner will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Morocco to watch AFCON live, a reward designed to strengthen the connection between football, creativity, and youth culture.

TECNO stated that the campaign aimed not only at content creation but also at fostering community and amplifying authentic African voices. Through the #MyPowerMoment Challenge, the brand sought to showcase the intersection of technology, football, and self-expression in the daily lives of young Africans.

In addition to the grand prize winners, TECNO acknowledged several creators whose submissions stood out for their originality, emotional depth, and energy.

The company described the challenge as a celebration of African storytelling, resilience, and confidence, reinforcing its commitment to youth engagement and creative empowerment across the continent.
