Essay Contest Winners are not eligible to participate.
Length and language
1,500-2,500 words.
All essays must be in English.
Submission Format
All essays must be submitted through our online form and
must include the writer's name in the file name and inside the document.
For example, if your name is John J. Smith, the document
should be named "SMITH-JOHN.doc".
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.
