European Union high school essay contest

Andrew Weeks, professor at Illinois State University, wrote to the College Board AP GovPol EDG about this contest. Some people are going to win prizes.

Greetings!
As someone involved in organizing the program, I'd like to circulate the information below. It's a genuine opportunity to present something new and momentarily very relevant which is outside the curriculum and connected with some attractive prizes:

European Union Educational Program and Essay Competition.

Students who are eager to know more about the world and are interested in acquiring a credential to cite on college applications, at the same time competing for cash prizes along with their teacher (who can win a European tour), should look into the European Union Week program and essay contest at Illinois State University and the University of Illinois EU Center. (It is scheduled for Sept. 12-15, but the presentations may be heard subsequently as podcasts; the contest deadline is Dec. 1.)

For info, go to The European Union Project or European Union Center, University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.
