Interview date, Process and Venue for TSL International Student Essay Competition
Selection Criteria
- The judges look for originality and creativity, woven around a fact-based narrative in all formats – and the potential to contribute to constructive national or international debate. Unique and well-argued perspectives score highly.
- All work should be original and the students own. A bibliography of references should be included where appropriate and will not be counted as part of the official word limit. Essays or videos with plagiarised content will not be considered for an award. Especially within the essay competition, the same snippets of text tend to reappear again and again from common sources such as Wikipedia, and thus become very obvious to essay readers!
- Each student’s age is taken into account when judging, so that younger students are not at an unfair disadvantage when compared with older students.
- They understand that for some students English may be a second language and therefore do not mark down for syntax.
