The deadline for the Ministry of Finance's Budget 2008 Essay and Video Competitions have been extended to 25th Jan 2008 (this Friday).

Interested students may refer to the following websites for more information on how to submit your entries.

The Essay Competition, themed "Infinite possibilities; finite resources", is a partnership between the Ministry of Finance (MOF), the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKY-SPP) and the Straits Times (ST). Through the competition, MOF hopes to promote greater awareness of and debate on Singapore's fiscal policies and financing priorities. Students are invited to offer refreshing perspectives and compelling arguments on the future of public finance in Singapore.

The top 3 essays will receive cash prizes of $2,500, $1,200 and $500 respectively for the students in the senior category (aged between 17 and 25 as of 31 Dec 2007) while those in the junior category (aged between 13 and 16 as of 31 Dec 2007) stand to win $1,500, $600 and $300 respectively.
Entries may also receive media coverage and be showcased by MOF in the Annual Budget Speech.

The Video Competition topic is "What the Budget means to me" and is a partnership between the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the Straits Times (ST).

We encourage interested students to explore the myriad ways of expressing their answers to the topic – entries can be recorded in the format of skits, musicals, raps, graphic animations, and even puppet plays.
We look forward to receiving works of creative expression and artistic imprint by students.
Cash prizes of $1,500, $600 and $300 will be awarded for the top 3 video-clips.

Cheers.
