Win iPad, Airpods & UN Recommendation Letter at the ESF x SDSN x Zester SDG Innovation League 2025!

Are you looking to solve the world’s biggest problems through innovation? Or maybe just get a leg up in university applications, or win cool prizes? In any case, the ESF x SDSN x Zester SDG Innovation League is the competition for you.

ESF has teamed up with SDSN, the SDG subcommittee of the United Nations so that ESF students can become changemakers who will solve the world’s biggest problems. This competition has three phases:

Imagine. Play Zester, an award-winning SDG card game based around problem-solving, and debate your ideas;
Implement. In 2 weeks, start and initiate a real-world SDG project while assisted by UN-appointed volunteers and mentors.
Inspire. Pitch your solutions to a panel of UN-appointed judges, many of whom are industry leaders, and potentially get support on implementation later on!

The two brackets for this competition are Junior (Year 7-9) and Senior (Y10-13) competitions, and below are the prizes:

Senior Prizes

Apple iPad 10.9 Inch (10th Generation)
$500 HKD Google Play Gift Card
