Case Competition 2021
What is the Case Competition?
The Case Competition is your opportunity to practice preparing a written case on an exciting topic. The Case Competition is free to enter and open to all female students from grades 7-12. While previous debating experience will assist participants in preparing their submissions, any student who is considering trying out debating in the future or who enjoys research and writing tasks is welcome to enter. All students will also be able to access feedback on their submissions, making this a valuable learning opportunity for all involved regardless of their skill level or experience.
The competition consists of three categories: Junior (grade 7-9), Intermediate (grade 9-10) and Senior (grade 11-12), with a maximum of 800 words for Junior, 1000 words for Intermediate and 1200 words for Senior. Students may compete individually or in a pair, provided that they enter into the category the older member of the pair is eligible for (e.g. a grade 10 and grade 11 student could enter as a pair into the Senior category). The competition will culminate in a Grand Final, at which winners of each category will be awarded exciting prizes.
