AMBLER, PA — A Philadelphia-area marketing firm is marking Women’s History Month by challenging the next generation of female leaders to step forward — and backing that call with cash prizes and a community-wide movement.
Elysium Marketing Group announced the launch of “I’m Next,” a student competition inviting female high school students across the region to submit either a 500-word essay or an original piece of artwork reflecting what “I’m Next” means to them and how women from history and today inspire their ambitions.
Two winners — one in the writing category and one in the artwork category — will each receive $1,500.
Submissions are due by March 8, 2026, International Women’s Day. Entries may be emailed to info@elysiummg.com or mailed to Elysium Marketing Group, 124 South Maple Street, Suite 104, Ambler, PA 19002.
“As Elysium has grown over the past 11 years, I have been so grateful for the fearless women who have bravely gone before me and served as role models — from my personal family members and friends, to professional mentors, and those who have achieved success on the public stage throughout history and today,” said Elyse Lupin, President and Founder of Elysium Marketing Group. “In celebration of those influential women and to encourage those yet to shine, Elysium is thrilled to offer ‘I’m Next’ as an opportunity for high school students to share how they will spark change in their own unique ways. We can’t wait to see the entries!”
In addition to the competition, the agency unveiled an official “I’m Next” T-shirt featuring the names of 29 women recognized for advancing change in government, activism, the arts and broader community leadership. The shirts are available for purchase at https://www.bonfire.com/im-next-movement/, with all proceeds benefiting Shadow Her, a nonprofit organization supporting women entrepreneurs with training and business development resources. More information about Shadow Her is available at https://shadowher.org/.
Full terms and conditions for the competition are available at https://docs.google.com/.
