A global call for essays has been launched, inviting aspiring journalists and writers under the age of 30 to share their perspectives on how geopolitical instability is reshaping global migration patterns. The initiative seeks to amplify young voices on one of the most pressing humanitarian issues of our time.
The essay competition, organized by the Mixed Migration Centre, is designed to spark critical thinking and storytelling around the intricate relationship between global politics and migration. Writers are encouraged to examine the ongoing impact of conflict, persecution, and shifting policies on displaced populations.
Key Themes Include:
Conflict-induced displacement and its effect on local communities
The human toll of increasingly restrictive border policies
The influence of development and humanitarian aid on migration flows
Personal reflections and critiques of current migration practices
Competition Format:
Participants are required to submit a 200-word abstract outlining their proposed essay. Selected candidates will then be invited to submit a 1,500-word essay by June 23, 2025.
The top five winning entries will each receive $1,000 and be published in the Mixed Migration Review, providing a global platform for young writers to contribute to the migration discourse.
Submission Deadline:
The last date to submit abstracts is May 5, 2025.
This competition offers a powerful opportunity for emerging writers to contribute to international conversations on migration, policy, and human rights — shedding light on personal stories and global patterns often overlooked in mainstream narratives.
