The European Commission Directorate General for Single Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, has launched the Youth Essay Competition 2018 – Time to get writing!
Young people between 18 and 25 year old from European Member States and COSME partners countries will have to write an essay in English, of maximum 2,500 words, answering the question: What steps should entrepreneurs and government take to become more innovative?”.
The three finalists will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the 2018 SME Assembly in Graz, Austria, in November, where they will present their essays to more than 500 Assembly delegates.
They will also receive presentation training before delivering the essay live on stage at the SME Assembly 2018 and promotion of their essays across SME Week social media channels.
The final winner will be chosen via a public vote.
Second and third prize winners will have their video presenting their essays streamed on.
The competition is part of European SME Week, an annual pan-European campaign to promote entrepreneurship in Europe. The flagship events of the Week are the SME Assembly and the European Enterprise Promotion Awards Ceremony.
