AIESEC in University of Kelaniya is back with one of the most exciting nights on the youth leadership calendar — Sparkles ’26, the organisation’s iconic annual awards ceremony, returning on the 29th of March 2026 for another unforgettable celebration of ambition, excellence, and inspiration.
Sparkles ’26 is more than just an awards night. It is a vibrant, high-energy gathering of some of the most driven young individuals in Sri Lanka — people who have spent the past year pushing boundaries, leading teams, and making a genuine difference within AIESEC and their communities. This is the night their efforts are celebrated in the most spectacular fashion.
AIESEC, the world’s largest youth-run non-governmental, non-profit organisation, operates in over 120 countries with a growing presence across 20+ universities in Sri Lanka. Aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, the organisation continues to develop a generation of young leaders committed to creating positive change on a global scale.
The highlight of the evening? The highly anticipated “The Best Young Leader” and “The Best Emerging Young Leader” awards — two of the most prestigious honours in the AIESEC community, recognising individuals who have truly set themselves apart through their dedication and impact.
Expect an evening packed with exclusive behind-the-scenes moments, powerful stories of leadership, and interviews with the night’s biggest achievers — all brought to audiences across the nation through comprehensive digital coverage.
Sparkles ’26 takes place on the 29th of March 2026. Stay connected for live updates, highlights, and everything you need to know from this incredible night of youth leadership.
