Você, estudante, que fez vestibular, está na universidade, e realmente usa o inglês com desenvoltura, deveria considerar o prêmio cujo "edital" reproduzo abaixo.

Nada como a informalidade dos americanos, bem menos burocrática que o nosso modo latino de ser. Mas, sou brasileiro, não desisto, quero mostrar ao mundo como nossa burocracia é melhor....:).

2005 OLIVE W. GARVEY FELLOWSHIP COMPETITION --
Top Essays To Be Awarded $2,500 (Students) or
$10,000 (Untenured Faculty)

The Independent Institute is pleased to announce
the 2005 Olive W. Garvey Fellowship Competition.
Cash prizes will be awarded to outstanding
college students -- and untenured "junior"
faculty -- from around the world through a
competitive essay contest. Held biennially, the
Garvey Fellowship is intended to encourage and
reward scholarship pertaining to the meaning and
significance of economic and personal liberties.
The specific essay topic changes with each
contest.

This essay topic for 2004-2005 is taken from a
quotation by Nobel-laureate economist and social
philosopher Friedrich A. Hayek (1899-1992): "The
great aim of the struggle for liberty has been
equality before the law."

A panel of three judges will look for the best
essays related to Hayek's quotation -- original
essays distinguished by their clarity, rigor, and
eloquence. The essays need not be technical or
demonstrate hyper-specialized scholarship,
although they should be serious in content, tone,
and style.

Founded in 1974, the Garvey Fellowship has
attracted thousands of young scholars, many of
whom have subsequently become noted academicians,
journalists, and business leaders. Beginning in
2003, the Garvey Fellowships also offers awards
in a separate category for junior faculty members
(untenured).
