"What are politicians able to deliver for the next generation of voters?"

Submit your blog and take part in the 'winners announcement' at an online event in June!

 

Are you a student aged 16 to 19 who has thoughts on what could or should be done? If so, we’re looking to you for creative ideas in our annual competition to find the best political student blog!

Students, from across the UK and abroad, are invited to submit a blog in response to this question  for our annual competition, run In partnership with the Financial Times and supported by the Association for Citizenship Teaching (ACT).

The deadline for submissions is 5pm on Monday 20 May

Please email your blog, of between 500-600 words and as an attached Word doc, to: a.s.crines@liverpool.ac.uk (copied to studentblogs@psa.ac.uk) . Be sure to state your name and the name of your school/college at the top of the blog!

The blogs will be judged by a panel of experts from academia and politics, who will look for creative thinking, good arguments, concepts and expression as much as writing skills!

  • All students who enter the competition will be invited to an online awards event in June where the winner and two runners-up will be announced. Full details of this event will be circulated at a later date!

 

  • The winning blog will be published online in the Financial Times, the PSA’s blog section on the website, and will be printed in the PSA’s prestigious magazine Political Insight.
