Scheduled for 20 December 2025, the prestigious event will take place at the Harare Country Club and is expected to draw a diverse audience united by a shared commitment to youth development.
Founded in 2022 by MY Image Consultancy, the Zimbabwe Kids & Teens Models Awards has grown into a respected national platform that recognizes young people who are excelling not only in modelling and the creative arts, but also in academics, discipline, digital innovation and community impact.

The 2025 edition will bring together 80 nominees competing across 23 award categories, reflecting the breadth and diversity of young talent in Zimbabwe. Parents, schools, community leaders, creatives and youth mentors will be in attendance, with an estimated 150 guests expected to participate in the celebration of youth excellence. The gathering will serve as both an awards ceremony and a networking platform for stakeholders invested in positive child and youth development.
Guests can expect a vibrant programme featuring award presentations, runway showcases and carefully curated moments that highlight the personal growth journeys of the nominees. Beyond the glamour of fashion and performance, the event places strong emphasis on personal development, discipline and positive values, showcasing how young participants are being shaped into confident and responsible individuals.
