What is the Global Child Prodigy Awards?

Every child is special and unique in their own way. Each child owns an exceptional innate talent and can do wonders when they’re given the right guidance. Parental encouragement, school’s support, programs on talent development, and events on talent recognition can help in nurturing a child’s talent further.

It is observed that only 3% (6 out of 210) Child Prodigies manage to take their talent to the next level and become successful in their domain. GCP Awards aims to Recognize Child Prodigies, support them, provide them global exposure to excel in their respective domains.

Global Child Prodigy Awards (GCP Awards) is the world’s first and only child prodigy initiative that recognizes Top 100 Child Prodigies around the globe each year from various verticals. These Top 100 child prodigies also get featured in Global Child Prodigy Annual Book every year.
