Haiti Open’s HOT 100 YOUNG HAITIANS is an annual summer competition that gives young Haitians in Haiti, the United States, and around the world an exclusive opportunity to highlight their skills, background, work, aspirations, and accomplishments.Â
Like every year, we’ll have 100 finalists. We’ll select 5 top finalists—2 women, 2 men, and a cover winner. The 2025 contest winner will grace the cover of our September 30, 2025, summer edition, and each top 5 finalist will receive their own two-page spread inside the magazine and a photo shoot with a top photographer. The finalist who appears on the cover will receive a $4,000 one-year influencer contract to help promote Haiti Open, Inc.’s companies.Â
The contest is open to men and women between 18 to 40 years old who are Haitian or of Haitian descent, no matter where they live. You don’t need to be a subscriber of the magazine to enter, and no purchase of any kind is necessary.
