Tips & Criteria

1) Choose a Topic

Topic is clear, relevant, and ideally links to economics or another field

✅ General Economics: “Why Does Inflation Matter to Teenagers?”
✅ Cross-topic: “The Economics of Climate Litigation”

2) Hook the Reader

Strong, attention-grabbing introduction within the first 1–2 sentences

Ask a question, use a surprising stat, or relate to everyday life.
✅ “Ever wonder why your iced coffee costs more this year?”

3) Keep it Between 300-600 words

Clear structure with concise writing that fits within the word range

✅ Ideal range: 300–600 words.
📝 Over 600 is okay if it's not repetitive and still easy to follow.

4) Use Clear simple Language

Ideas are explained simply; minimal jargon; unfamiliar terms are defined

✅ “The government lowers interest rates to encourage spending”
🛑 Avoid: “Expansionary monetary policy affects aggregate demand via liquidity.”

5) Link Ideas Smoothly

Logical flow and transitions between ideas

Use linking phrases like “This means…”, “For example…”, or “As a result…” to connect your points.

6) Include Real Life Examples

At least one relatable or news-based example is used to support your idea

✅ E.g. “The recent UK grocery price spike shows how inflation affects basic necessities.”

7) Strong Conclusion

Clear final thought or takeaway that reinforces the main idea

✅ “So next time you hear about inflation, remember—it’s not just numbers, it’s your future.”

8) Use Subheadings (optional)

Article is visually easy to read with short paragraphs or subheadings

Break up text every 3–5 sentences. Use subheadings like The Problem, The Link to Economics, What This Means.

9) Original Thought and Insight

The article includes your own voice, reflections, or perspectives

✅ Don’t just summarise—offer your interpretation or connect it to issues your generation faces.

10) Title

✅ “Fast Fashion, Slow Consequences”

✅ “Is University Still Worth It? An Economic View”
