As part of activities marking its 15th anniversary, Paradigm Initiatives invites young Africans to enter its debate/essay competition.
It has organized this competition for persons who are passionate about digital rights in Africa and are eager to make their opinion on this known to the public across the continent.
How The Competition Will Unfold
The competition will happen in two rounds:
First Round: Entrants will submit an essay on the topic: “are social and cultural norms in Africa impeding the realization of digital rights and inclusion?” They will argue for or against the premise in their essay, which should not be longer than 1,500 words.
Second Round: The organizers will select eight candidates who scale through the first stage and place them in groups of four each. One group will argue for the premise, and the other will argue against it. The debate will take place virtually via Zoom on Thursday, July 20, 2022.
PIN will announce the winners of the debate during its Anniversary Dinner slated for Saturday, July 23, 2022. It will then select four candidates (two from each team), to compete in the finale.
Benefits
Winners will get an all-expenses-paid trip to Zimbabwe and receive a laptop set at the PIN festival, which will take place from October 10-14.
Eligibility
Persons who want to enter the competition should meet these conditions:
- Be between 18 and 25 years old
- Be an African currently living on the continent
Applications will remain open until June 30, 2022.

A tempting offer, I would love to participate if I could write essays myself. And so I use the services of cheap essay writing uk https://www.rushmyessay.co.uk/ Thanks to them, I create works that are highly unique and literate. So contests are not for me.
Finding a truly reliable service for a student is very difficult. As a medical student, I often have to turn to nurse writing services https://www.nursingpaper.com/ to get my assignments done on time. I’m afraid to be excellent, so I try to do my assignments on time.
I know that many students participate in such competitions. Unfortunately my writing skills are not that good and my text always came out unreadable. One day I decided to get essay help essayshark.com and the writers helped me a lot with writing my assignments. When I compared the final version and my text, I understood why I had so many mistakes in the text.
