The Contemporary Media Research Foundation Maurice De Velder

The Foundation was established in early 2011 by Maurice De Velder, the CEO of Belgian publishing house Think Media.

The goal of the Foundation is to support and inspire students researching media related topics. The Foundation will feature third party writing competitions on this website as well as "Maurice De Velder Paper Contests". Students are invited to participate in these "Maurice De Velder Paper Contests" by submitting a short polemic paper. The Foundation will evaluate the entries and award cash prizes to the winners. Papers will be evaluated by international media experts.

Helpful Tips From Maurice De Velder regarding the "Maurice De Velder Paper Contests"

I’m expecting a lot of entries so yours will need to stand out from the crowd to have a chance of winning. Here are a few hints on how to write a good paper but they’re not rules - feel free to choose a different path.

1. Think about the structure of your paper. An executive summary at the start is a good way to let the reader know where you’re heading. Finish with some conclusions and recommendations.

2. I’ve said I want the papers to be “polemic”. What do I mean? I want your opinions, the more controversial the better as long as you can justify them. And I’m looking for some new, creative thinking. In terms of style I’d like it to be more like an article or business case than an academic, scientific research paper.

3. Where possible, support your arguments with data. If you can do your own research, so much the better.

4. Use graphs, charts and pictures if they clarify the points you are trying to make. But you’ve only got 4 pages to work with, so you need to consider how to make best use of them.

5. Before you send it to me, read it aloud to yourself – I find it helps to spot any awkward sentences. Ask some other people to read it too – if your mother doesn’t understand it, chances are other people won’t either.

The judges and I look forward to reading your work. Good luck!
