The Legislative Department on Montserrat has launched the “Voices of Leadership: A Montserrat Parliament Reflection” essay competition.
The public is invited to explore and reflect on Montserrat’s political history between 1952 to present in essay submissions.
This competition encourages participants to imagine themselves as a parliamentarian or political leader serving during this pivotal era, and to express who they would choose to emulate and why.
The aim of the competition is to deepen the public’s understanding of Montserrat’s governance, leadership, and historical development.
The competition is divided into four age categories: ages 8 to 11, 12 to 16, 17 to 29, and 30+.
The guidelines for each age category can be found on the Government website, at www.gov.ms.
Submissions can be sent via email at legis.montserrat@gmail.com or taken to the Legislative Department, #1 Farara Plaza, Brades with the envelope marked “Essay Competition.”
The deadline for submissions is June 24.
All entries must be the individual’s original work. Prizes will be awarded to winners in each age category.
Persons can contact the Legislative Department on 1-664-491-2195/3195 for further information.
