    The Summits of the Americas Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) invites university students from the OAS Member States to participate in an essay contest within the framework of the Special Summit of the Americas, which will be held in Mexico on January 12-13, 2004. The Heads of State and Government will be meeting to exchange ideas and identify initiatives in order to confront the current social, economic, and political challenges in the region.

    The essay contest is for graduate and undergraduate students and should address one of the three themes to be discussed at the Special Summit:

                            1. Economic Growth with Equity
                            2. Social Development
                            3. Democratic Governance

    The essays should be original works, authored individually (in Spanish or English), and submitted in Microsoft Word, no longer than 20 pages double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font. Attached to the paper should be the name of the author, name of the institution, address, telephone number, and email address of the participant. All papers must be accompanied by an executive summary of half a page (200 words) and should be sent electronically to: mailto:csantamaria@oas.org
    <mailto:mailto:csantamaria@oas.org>. Alternatively, the paper may also be sent via postal mail, including an electronic file saved on diskette to:

    Call for Papers - Special Summit of the Americas Summits of the Americas Secretariat Organization of American States 1889 F Street, NW, Suite 686 Washington, DC 20006

    The essays should be received by the Summits of the Americas Secretariat, both electronically or via mail, no later than November 7, 2003.
