“New Models of Development”
2009-2010 SEVEN Fund Essay Competition
The S.E.VEN Fund (SEVEN) is announcing its 2009 - 2010 Student Essay Competition.
This year we are seeking essays on inspiring new models of economic development from around the globe. Read the article ‘Rwanda Rising: A New Model of Development” (link is on the contest page) and write an essay about models of economic development anywhere in the world that subvert traditional top-down approaches, and instead use a ‘heretical mix’ of business strategy, local wisdom, culture, and mutual benefit to bring about sustainable economic change at the city, country, or regional level.
High school, college, and graduate students may apply
The competition will award one (1) student prize of $10,000.
The submission deadline is December 7, 2009
