The campaign, which ran across East and West Africa, invited students and young creators to share personal moments of triumph, joy and self-belief through short form digital content.
Submissions ranged from football viewing reactions and campus celebrations to deeply personal stories of growth, drawing strong participation from young Africans across the continent.
According to TECNO, more than 10,000 entries were received during the challenge, underscoring football’s powerful role as a shared cultural language that connects communities and amplifies youth voices.
Following a review process, 10 creators emerged as grand prize winners.
Four Nigerian students were selected alongside six winners from Tanzania and Kenya.
The Nigerian winners are 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 experience the Africa Cup of Nations live, a prize designed to strengthen the link between football, creativity and youth culture.
TECNO said the #MyPowerMoment Challenge was designed to go beyond content creation by building community and amplifying authentic African stories through technology and self expression.
The company also recognised several other creators whose entries stood out among the thousands submitted, citing originality, emotional depth and vibrant energy as defining features of the campaign.
