Deadline 18 November - CIPE Youth Essay Competition 2012
CIPE Youth Essay Competition 2012
Each year, the Center for International Private Enterprise invites young people to share their ideas on how youth can help strengthen democracy and the private sector.
Essay Guidelines
Who can participate:
Students and young professionals aged 18-30. Past CIPE Youth Essay Contest Winners are not eligible to participate.
Length and language
1,500-2,500 words. All essays must be in English.
The essay you submit must focus on the role of youth and, where applicable, include examples from your personal experience relating to the topic. Essays that only talk about challenges to entrepreneurship in general terms, or limit proposed solutions only to what governments should do, will not be successful.
Winners:
For each category, CIPE will publish the winning first, second, and third place essays. Winning authors will receive a $500 honorarium.
One grand prize winner will be invited on an all-expense-paid trip to attend CIPE's upcoming Democracy that Delivers for Entrepreneurs conference in the United States, which is planned for April 2013.
Deadline:
November 18, 2012 at 11:00 PM (EDT)

The questions in bullet points are descriptive guidance meant to help you think about the topic. You do not necessarily have to answer these questions in your essay.
