Howdoo Search for Student Activist of the Year 2019

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

Whether it is staring down the face of advancing tanks in Tiananmen Square, protesting against segregation, apartheid, nazism and communism in Greensboro, Soweto, Munich, and Czechoslovakia respectively, students have, throughout history, been the instigators of change and at the heart of revolutions, both in great numbers but also as individuals.

However, students are not merely activists. They are artists, performers, scientists, athletes, thought leaders and dreamers. It is a well versed cliche, but the students of today are the leaders of tomorrow and Howdoo wants them to be at the heart of our Social Media Revolution.

We want them to see Howdoo as a place where they have the freedom to express themselves and their ideas without censorship. To see Howdoo as a place where their content and creativity can earn them an often much needed top up to their student finances and as an alternative to the Facebook owned domains that they are deserting in numbers.

With 18% of today’s students owning cryptocurrencies, we recognise that students can and will play an integral role in the growth and development of Howdoo and in the lead up to our public launch, Howdoo wants to show our own support for student activists around the world.

In recent years, Malala Yousafzai and Emma Gonzalaz have been two inspirational and galvanising campaigners who have captured our hearts and whose messages have inspired a generation, but in every university and place of study across the world, there are student activists fighting for equality, freedom, economic opportunity and for political ideologies.

And this year, we want you to consider and nominate the students in your universities, colleges and schools that you believe are making a difference and making the world a better place.

There will be a prize pool of $20,000 in udoos (the Howdoo crypto-token pegged at 4 cents) that will be awarded to the top student activists. The winner will receive 250,000 udoos and two runner ups will receive 125,000 udoos each.

In celebration of the anniversary of the Greensboro Sit In, we will publish full details on Feb 1st , but until then we ask you to consider who you feel deserves our support and to share this competition within your educational establishments.

With over 46,000 registered already and the Beta platform being tested by 2500, Howdoo is going to revolutionise social media and we want you to join us and help us shape social media for the better.
