Studies into young people
Coca-cola have also conducted research into Irish young people.
Their studies show that young Irish people believe their personal happiness is more than three times as important as money when it comes to defining success.
Parents are the most prominent role models for young people. Just 23% said their role model is a celebrity, while 14% said they look up to a current or former teacher.
Deadline for entries is Friday July 14.
