The Economics Network is delighted to announce that we are now accepting entries to our 2012 student challenge!
This year we want students to answer the following question: "How would you use economics to solve one of these issues: poverty; climate change; or structural unemployment." Entries can be submitted in a variety of formats (e.g. essay, poem, song or video). The winning submission last year was in the form of a rap so the more creative you can be the better.
The competition is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students studying any subject(s). Submissions from students still in school are also welcome.
Prizes:
First - £400
Second - £200
Third - £100
A range of economic books will also be awarded for commended entries.
If you wish to enter please submit your file to eoghan.beamish.09@bristol.ac.uk by the 31st of May 2012. In your e-mail please include your age, institution and subject(s) of study.
