Debates. Ideas. Solutions
Hey delegates,
GVMUN is pleased to announce the Global Virtual Model United Nations Essay Competition (GVMUNEC) is a contest for aspiring writers and thinkers to share their insight on the world. As the first iteration of the competition, the competition will be composed of essay submissions from an informed international audience looking to spark change in the world. The ideas in each essay should bring a fresh new perspective to international relations and policymaking.
Competitors will be able to choose between two prompts, as follows:
- To what extent should the world prioritize global federalism versus sovereign nationalism? How can the world solve global issues while ensuring the interests of individual nations are met?
- To what extent should free speech be available to members of a society? How does policy on personal expression and media go from being protective to being oppressive? What counts as genuine free speech?
They will need to write and submit a 600-800 word essay answering one of the prompts. Submission applications will be open on November 15, 2024 and the deadline will be December 31, 2024. Please attach your essay as a PDF under the position paper section with the following title format: [Name] - [Topic Number] - [Word Count]. All essays should use a Times New Roman size 12 font. Essays that do not meet all of the previous requirements will not be considered.
A works cited page is highly recommended, but not required.
While December 31st is the deadline, participants are strongly encouraged to submit their essays as early as they can.
After the submissions have been reviewed, the top three essays from each category will receive recognition through awards and posts on our social media platforms, such as Instagram and LinkedIn. Winners will also gain the opportunity to become GVMUN Ambassadors to work with our team.
