Student Essay Competition
In the past we have offered awards for students' reflections on their experiences of studying economics. In the 2011 competition the question was "Why study economics @ University?" Unlike previous years, entries could be submitted in any creative format (not just in writing) and was kindly sponsored by both PwC and Baille Gifford.
Congratulations to Joevas Asare from the University of Surrey, his rap was this year's winner. Also congratulations to our two runners-up; Anu Omotunde-Young from Lancaster University who wrote a poem and Daniel Derbyshire and Alex Grindulis from the University of Manchester who created a cartoon video. All of these entries as well as the commended entries can be found on Studying Economics.
