Entries may be in French or English, and may be on any subject related to political economy, economic theory or an economic policy issue, and should reflect a critical approach to the functioning, efficiency, social and environmental consequences of unconstrained markets.
1-page posters are attached to this email, in English and French. Consider putting up the poster in the hallway, and reaching out to students you know who might want to submit a strong final paper from a class to the contest.
Submissions are to be made via email to PEFstudentessaycontest2023@gmail.com until the deadline of May 8, 2023. Details about eligibility, as well as relevant forms to submit alongside the essay, are all available at this website: https://www.progressive-economics.ca/pef-student-essay-contest/
Thanks for helping spread the word to students about this opportunity.
All best,
Kevin.
