The voting phase for Nickelodeon's Together For Good campaign is now live, so it's time to select your winner!


The brilliant campaign, supported by child rights organisation Plan International, is engaging, celebrating and awarding inspiring children who are making a difference in their communities.


CHANGE MAKERS

Children around the world have been motivated by the stories of others who are already making a change in their communities since the campaign kicked off in July. As a result, children have been engaging in activities and challenges to make an impact – big or small.

In August, children aged 6 to 17 years were invited to visit good.nickelodeon.tv to upload photos and videos of themselves making a difference in their communities.

Submissions poured in from around the world and 4 finalists from each region have now been selected by a panel from Nickelodeon International and Plan International.


CHOOSE YOUR WINNER

To find out more about each of the finalists, just head to the 'vote' section of good.nickelodeon.tv, then once you've decided on your winner, hit the big orange button!

Voting closes on Wednesday 30th September 2015, so it's now or never!


Once voting closes and each regional winner is announced, they will be featured and celebrated on their regional Nickelodeon channel. They will also qualify for the chance to win the ultimate prize, an all-expense-paid trip to the USA to attend a exclusive Nickelodeon event, such as the Nickelodeon HALO Awards 2015, as a VIP guest!

The Together For Good campaign is Nickelodeon International's new initiative to empower children to make positive changes in the world around them.

Together For Good serves as Nickelodeon's international platform to inspire its audiences to get involved in their communities, provide the resources and education to get the job done and celebrate the impact they're making to the world every day.
