Take part in the 2022 student essay competition

Following the success of last year’s inaugural student essay competition, EG is launching its 2022 contest, inviting all those on apprenticeships or studying a real estate course at undergraduate or postgraduate level to respond to the question: “What does long-term success in real estate look like – and how does the industry achieve it?”.

In no more than 1,000-1,200 words, entrants should explain what success looks like, and the reasons why. Is it, for example, an industry that has fully embraced environmental, social and governance (ESG) in its decision-making and operation while maintaining profit? Is it a sector that has evolved pioneering approaches to diversity and inclusion? Or is it the industry’s ability to harness technology, artificial intelligence, and the metaverse to produce the business models and platforms of the future which will be key to shaping its long-term success?

The winning essay, along with two runners up, will be published in EG. The winner will also receive a year’s free subscription to the digital edition of EG, mentoring from one of the industry judges, and £250 in vouchers. Mentoring will also be available for the two runners up.

The deadline for all submissions is Tuesday 31 May. All submissions will be reviewed by our panel, with the winner announced in EG on 25 June.
