Senegal celebrated the 60th edition of its General Contest on July 30, 2026, with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye presiding over the ceremony at the Grand National Theater Doudou Ndiaye Coumba Rose. Ameth Babou, a student at the Prytanée militaire Charles N'Tchoréré in Saint-Louis, retained his title as the best student in Senegal, winning four first-place prizes in French, Physics, Philosophical Essay, and Citizenship and Human Rights. The event honored 118 laureates, with 55 girls and 63 boys recognized for their academic excellence. The contest, themed 'Senegal at the hour of the Olympic Games, refounding the meaning of the common good at the school of Olympic values,' also marked the publication of a golden book retracing its history and the unveiling of an immersive exhibition. Professor Awa Marie Coll Seck served as the godmother of the edition.
