How To Submit To Undergraduate Essay Competition 2022: Psa Parliaments
We are pleased to announce the launch of our 2022 Undergraduate Essay Competition! The winner will be presented with a prize of £100 and a runner-up prize of £50 at our annual conference in November 2022.
The competition is open to all undergraduate students who have submitted a piece of assessed work which contributes to our understanding of parliaments or legislatures.
The assessed work must be under 4,000 words (excluding bibliography and references). It does not have to be an essay in the traditional sense, nor an essay specifically from a specialist parliamentary studies module. It could, for instance, be a research project or any other form of written assessment. Entries will be judged on their originality, rigour, strength of analysis and contribution to our understanding of parliament(s).
In order to enter, lecturers must submit an essay on their students’ behalf by the closing date of 5pm on Monday 6 June 2022.
Please note that only one submission can be made per lecturer (or teaching assistant), who must be a member of the PSA and of the Specialist Group on Parliaments.
Students can only be entered once per competition. Multiple entries can be made per institution, if all nominating academics are members of both the PSA and of the Specialist Group on Parliaments.
Entries should be anonymised and sent to Alexandra Meakin (a.meakin@leeds.ac.uk) with the following information indicated in the email making the submission (if any of the following is not provided, the submission will not be accepted):
Title of the essay
Student name
Student contact email
Word count of the essay (excluding bibliography)
