The Essay Contest of the CMUNCE XXIV Secretary-General and Director-General
Participate in the first annual CMUNCE Essay contest!
The Secretary-General and Director-General are excited to continue our essay contest for delegates. We hope that this optional way to engage with CMUNCE encourages thoughtful reflection and discussion about your experiences and aspirations in this activity. Submissions will be reviewed by the Secretary-General and Director-General. Delegates may only submit one essay and any submissions that do not adhere to the formatting requirements and deadlines will be disqualified. Registered attendees of CMUNCE XXIV are eligible to enter and participants agree to allow CMUNCE to use their submissions for promotional purposes. Joint submissions are not accepted. Any questions regarding the Essay Contest should be directed to our USGs of Public Relations at public.relations@cmunce.org.
Essays should include a captivating title and be 500-1000 words in length, single-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font and should answer one or both of the following prompts:
Model UN requires a significant time commitment, and participants often have unique motivations for taking part. What does participating in Model UN mean to you personally, and how has it shaped your perspective or growth?
Is there a global issue you are particularly passionate about? How has Model UN allowed you to explore and advocate for that cause?
The writing style can be narrative or academic. A works cited page should be included if outside sources are used and does not contribute to the total word count. Essays should be submitted as a PDF in the form below by Monday, January 13th at 11:59pm ET and winners will be announced during CMUNCE XXIV Opening Ceremonies.
