IPPF Webinar on Thursday

About the IPPF: Founded in 2001, the Bickel & Brewer/New York University International Public Policy Forum is the only competition that gives students across the globe the opportunity to engage in written and oral debates on issues of public policy. The competition is free and open to all schools -- public and private. To participate in the 2011-12 competition, teams register at www.bickelbrewer.com/ippf by October 12. Teams then draft a 2,800 word qualifying round essay on the 2011-12 topic, "Resolved: Human  missions should be a significant focus of space exploration."  Essays must be submitted to  ippf@bickelbrewer.com by October 26. The "Top 32" teams will be announced on November 9. Those teams earn cash awards and advance into a single-elimination, written debate competition.  In February, the "Elite 8" teams will be named. Those teams earn an all-expense-paid trip to the IPPF Finals in New York City, where the IPPF Champion takes home a $10,000 grand prize! To learn more, visit www.bickelbrewer.com/ippf.
