This competition is very close to  common education of universities because you are supposed to write an essay about a given academic topic. Besides, the major difference to theses written during your studies is in fact that you can win prices! To give some examples, those prices could include internships, giveaways, money or the publication of the essay in a legal magazine.

That is also why Essay Competitions are very favoured on the international level. Even bilateral competitions are possible to foster the international exchange.

The most popular Essay Competition in Germany is “Buse-Awards”, a competition in cooperation with ELSA Germany and of our partners, Buse Heberer Fromm, which takes place once a year. The topics are from capital market law and you can win very attractive prices. To get further information you can visit the website of the Buse-Awards: www.Buse-Awards.de
