Kynaston Essay Prize
The Lower Sixth Wellington Economics Essay Competition

Each year during Michaelmas Term, all the Lower Sixth Economists are asked to write an essay, to be judged by the department. The prize is a £30 Amazon voucher and a book of the department's choice.

Why?

• It helps to develop your essay writing skills.
  It provides an opportunity to explore a fundamental topic in more depth than your course allows.
• It encourages you to read broadly and explore some difficult yet fundamental ideas.
