2023 Interact Awards winners: Rotary’s young leaders raise awareness about Interact

By Casey Jones, Programs and Communications Specialist

Each year, over 15,000 Interact clubs across the world are driving positive impacts within their communities. To celebrate their hard work, Rotary International hosts an annual campaign: the Interact Awards. Interact clubs are invited to submit a video, photo(s), and/or essay that showcases their club experience and service initiatives. By participating, Interact clubs have the opportunity for their submission to be named “Best Video,” “Best Photo,” or “Best Essay,” alongside receiving funds to support their next service project.

This year, Interact clubs were asked to “Promote Interact: Create a promotional video, photo, and/or essay that raises awareness about Interact and shares what being an Interactor means to you and your Interact club.” The 2023 Interact Awards encouraged more participation than ever before, with Rotary International receiving 596 submissions!
