BFSB is accepting entries for its annual Essay and Speech Competition, hosted as part of the National Career Awareness Month. The 2011 competition is being cosponsored by Bahamas Business Solutions Ltd., (BBSL), Rotary Club of Nassau Sunrise, and KPMG. BBSL has been a partner with BFSB in this undertaking since it was introduced in 2002 and the prime donor of the prizes for the last 5 years.
Participating students from Grades 10-12 will have a choice of two topics: (1) Bahamas Tax System Reform; and (2) Was There a Silver Lining in the Global Economic Recession? They can also choose to either one or both of the competitions. Participating schools use an internal process to select winners (one each) in the Essay and Speech competitions, to be judged by an Industry Panel that selects the overall winners. The competition ends on November 15th, with the speech competition and presentations ceremony for winners in both the essay and speech contests.
