BLACK INTELLECTS’ FOUNDATION LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE WITH OVER $2000 ESSAY CONTESTS.
The Black Intellects’ International is sponsoring an essay contest for all students worldwide. $1000 will be awarded to the best essay author.
BACKGROUND
Conflict whether neighborhood crime and violence, civil war or war between two countries is often both a cause and a consequence of poverty. Research shows that the combination of poverty, economic decline and dependence on exporting natural resources drives conflict across all regions. Many of the poorest countries are locked in a vicious circle in which poverty causes conflict and conflict causes poverty.
QUESTION
What is the relationship between conflict and poverty? Explain why introducing conflict resolution practices into poverty-alleviation programs are important. Discuss the institutional dimensions of development and conflict which are seen as paramount, as ignoring them may lead to a vicious circle, a sort of "catch-22" from which developing countries have no escape.
ELIGIBILITY
Must be a STUDENT to apply AND must be enrolled in a school as of the contest deadline of April 1, 2007. Age is not a requirement but this is open to all scholars. You should also register online as a Black Intellects' Member (registration is free and easy)
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Essays must be in English and not less than 10,000 characters (approximately 1,500 words in length). You may submit only ONE essay. All entries must be received by April 1, 2007.
AWARDS AND RECOGNITION
$1,000 will be awarded to the author of the best essay. Three runners-up will each receive $400 EACH. Winners of the essay will be also given free Sony PSP, Autographed books, Customized Nike sneakers and many more. The winners will be notified in June 2007. All four winners, accompanied by their well-wishers, will attend an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. in July 2007. The winning essay will be published on our website and magazine.
