Deadline July 31st | Age 16-25 | Enter this essay competition on climate change to win a place at the Open Future event in Hong Kong.
- Essays should take a side, analyse the situation and build a case based on argument and facts. Elegant writing is important but the judges will make allowances for those for whom English is not their native language. The winner will be based on the subjective decision of the judging panel.
- There will be one winner.
- Entries should be no more than 1,000 words in length, and must be written in English.
- The winning entry will be published online by The Economist.
The Prizes
The prize for the winner will be an invitation to one of The Economist’s Open Future events to be held on October 5th 2019 and at venues in Hong Kong, Manchester and Chicago.
