Creative Writing Contest - Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
Amount: 1st place $500 Cash Gift Card; 2nd place $250 Cash Gift Card; 3rd place $100
Cash Gift Card
Deadline: February 27, 2012
Requirements: Open to all 11th and 12th high school students. You must write a
composition on the following subject: Pick a show or episode and investigate the
scenes to find the basic economic concepts within. Then write an essay, poem, play, or
short story explaining how the show or episode demonstrates some of those concepts.
You can pick a comedy or drama, documentary or sports show, reality show or soap
opera. But whatever you choose, the show or episode must explore basic economic
principles, and it must be a show that you wouldn't be embarrassed to watch with your
grandma. And for those of you who don't embarrass easily, that means no programs
rated TV-MA, programs rated for mature audiences.
As you craft your composition, think about how economic concepts impact the plot:
 Are the characters dealing with the issues of supply and demand?
 Is inflation making it difficult for them to purchase a car or pay for college
expenses?
 What about any unintended consequences?
Answering these or other complex questions will help you think critically about basic
economic principles.
Acceptable written compositions for this contest include essays, short stories, poems,
and plays. No other types of submissions or media will be accepted. Each student may
submit only one composition, which must represent their original research, writing, and
thinking.
Information: Details are listed on the web site below. For questions, call April
