Description

To advance the study of democracy by African students, the Centre for Research on Democracy (CREDO) at Stellenbosch University hosts an annual essay writing initiative – the African Democracy Essay Award. Eligible students from across South Africa are invited to submit an essay which addresses a key issue relevant to the experience of democracy on the African continent.

By participating in this national initiative, you will thus not only involve yourself in the debates and ideas at the heart of contemporary democracy, but will also have the opportunity to improve your research and writing skills and, in the process, produce high-quality work that can be showcased to potential employers and graduate schools. Participation can thus be particularly beneficial if you are a student considering further studies, or a career in academia, policymaking, governance, development, or law.

Benefits of Democracy Essay Award

  • Each of the three winners receives an honorarium (R5,000, R3,000 or R2,000 respectively) for the publication of their essay on a partnering platform, as well as an invaluable addition to their CV.
