The grand finale of the 2025 Literacy Challenge takes place today, Saturday, August 16, at the Alisa Hotel in Accra, where the top 10 finalists will compete for the ultimate prize.
The competition, organised by Citi FM and Channel One TV, aims to promote reading, writing, and critical thinking skills among Junior High School students. After months of rigorous tests and eliminations, the 10 finalists will battle for the coveted trophy.
This year’s challenge drew hundreds of entries from across the country, with students showcasing creativity and problem-solving skills through essays and quizzes designed to stretch their intellect.
At today’s event, the finalists will face a quiz competition before the overall winner is crowned. The champion will take home a cash prize of GH¢10,000 and a trophy.
The 2025 edition, launched on July 10, tasked participants with writing an essay on the topic: “In not less than 600 words, discuss the effects of Climate Change on Agriculture in Ghana. What challenges do these effects create for individuals, families, communities, and the nation? Suggest practical solutions to help all Ghanaians mitigate these challenges.”
The annual competition is organised by Citi FM in partnership with Channel One TV, with sponsorship from BEL MOOO and GB Assessment.
