Inspired by the historical 2008 U.S. Presidential Election, Demockracy has decided to launch its First Annual Essay Contest. In addition to a substantive prize for the winner, it is our hope that this contest will help further our vision of a nonprofit online policy and politics magazine based upon open dialogue, in-depth analysis and intellectual honesty. As such, although there will only be one grand prize winner, we plan to publish and recognize the work of several runner-up submissions.

Essay Topic:

Four years ago, no one could have imagined that Barack Obama would become the 44th President of the United States. This should be a lesson to us all that a lot can change in four years. As such, Demockracy.com would like you to look forward to New Year’s Day 2013 and speculate about what changes the world is likely to see in the next four years.

Guidelines:

• All essays must be submitted via the form below no later than Friday, January 2 at 5 pm EST.
• All essays must be between 1,500 and 2,500 words.
• Essays can focus on politics, policy, and/or culture. However, we encourage essays to have a primary area of focus (e.g., changes in international affairs, health policy, gay rights, other rights or issues, etc.).
• The unit of analysis for essays can be the world, a nation state, or a group of individuals.

Winners:

• The first place winner will receive a $100 gift card to his or her online store of choice and will have his or her article published as a featured article at Demockracy.com.
• Additional entries may be published at the discretion of Demockracy editors.
