ABOUT THE COMPETITION
The third edition of the IRCCL Blog Writing Competition is being organised, in collaboration with JSA, to foster and cultivate a calibrated approach to academic research and writing. What makes this competition particularly unique is its upper word limit of 2,500 words, through which we hope to have a premier focus on novel content. To this effect, the themes of this edition have been designed to promote the conversation around certain key contemporary issues in the M&A and Private Equity space.
Last date for submission of entries: 31 Jan 2023
Completion of preliminary review of all entries: 20 Feb 2023
Completion of final review of shortlisted entries: 20 Mar 2023
Announcement of winning entries (tentatively): 31 Mar 2023
THEMES
The following themes within the realm of M&A and Private Equity should guide the participants in terms of selecting an appropriate topic for the submission.
