 Courage & Wisdom contest was started by the SSE Russia EMBA-1 alumnus Vladislav Pozdyshev with the support of U-Journal to encourage personal initiative, entrepreneurial talent and managerial competence.
Everyone who thinks that his or her achievements in business or career are worth an award and public recognition can enter the competition for the Courage & Wisdom Honey Cup. To do this, please send an essay about you and your achievements to the editorial board of U-Journal.
Outstanding entrepreneurs, top managers of executive search companies, representatives of venture capital form the contest jury. Their role is to choose three finalists. Decisions of jury members are kept in secret in closed envelopes by the organizing committee until the Courage and Wisdom award ceremony. During the ceremony each member of the jury personally presents their decision. Three finalists are determined by adding scores.
In the second round of the contest, during the ceremony, each of the three finalists deliver a short speech supporting his or her position to win support of the audience (SSE Russia students and alumni, as well as special guests). The School‘s Vote (the sum of all votes of the audience) equals one jury vote.
Winner is awarded the Courage & Wisdom Honey Cup made of precious materials in special design and a commemorative certificate for life-long ownership of the cup. All finalists are awarded valuable prizes from sponsors. All contest participants receive memorable gifts and certificates of participation.
All essays of participants are published in the special Courage & Wisdom edition and on the website www.u-journal.com. The most interesting essays will be published in U-Journal. |
