The Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is holding the first Trans-Pacific Student Contest, an essay/video competition on the role of ethics in international affairs.

The contest, under the Council’s Ethics for a Connected World, a three-year global education project to mark the Council's 2014 Centennial, is open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students. Entries should be done in collaboration with a US citizen and must be in English.

The essay/video topic is, “What is the greatest ethical challenge facing U.S.-Asia relations or the U.S. and one of the Asian countries? Please use specific examples or stories to illustrate your points.”
Essays should be written in op-ed style (not academic, footnoted papers) with a length of 2,000-3,000 words. Videos should not exceed 10 minutes.

Deadline is on April 30, 2013. Winners will receive a trip to New York City to attend a 3-day Carnegie Council Global Ethics Network Annual Meeting.
