How: Topics in previous years required applicants to provide their personal views regarding the topic and required research to support their views. The required mix was approximately 80% research and 20% creative writing.
Since 2020 has been an unusual year to say the least, this year’s essay will be closer to 80% creative writing and 20% research.
This year’s topic is:
The Impact of War on the World Economy
The essay should be approximately 1,500 words. It is ok if you are a little over or under the 1,500 words. It is the content of the essay that is important. Please feel free to include your personal thoughts and ideas
