If you are aged between 14 and 24 and can write an essay, you could win up to £1,000 by answering the question 'How is technology and engineering driving change in a country of your choice'.
The prize for the winning essay in the 19-24 age category is £1,000, and in the 14-18 age category the winner will receive £700. There are also cash prizes for those students whose essays are 'Highly Commended'.
If you are a teacher and submit 15 or more essays from your pupils you will receive a Bosch Ixo Cordless Screwdriver.
The Independent-Bosch Technology Horizons Award is now in its third successful year. It is run by three partners: The Independent, Bosch and the Royal Academy of Engineering. This year we are encouraging students to think globally about the way technology and engineering is at the forefront of change in different countries.
Winning students will be invited to attend an awards ceremony in July, and everyone who enters the competition receives a personalised certificate.
Look out for the Opinion Boxes in the Education supplement of the Independent during November and January for discussions on the topic.
Entries must be received by 31st March 2008.
