Top Tips from the Organizers
The most important thing to remember when looking at the questions we have set you is that there is no right answer! What we are looking for above all is creative, well-thought out answers, which tackle the questions posed in interesting ways. As with your essays from Round II, you should take a clear stance on the issue or topic and substantiate your argument with specific examples and solid research.
Don’t be afraid to be bold or controversial – the questions are designed to make you think, to be critical, and form your own opinions. You will not find the answers on the internet alone!
Challenge yourselves and surprise us!
