EconFrame 2023

CORE Econ’s photo competition to capture real-world economics in a snapshot.

 

Capture economics in a snapshot

This competition is closed.

EconFrame is a photo competition running at UCL since 2019. From 2022, we would like to extend the competition to include students studying with CORE Econ in high schools and universities all around the world.

As part of the competition, students are invited to submit a photo that captures an economic concept that is covered in CORE Econ (meaning, in any of the CORE Econ’s ebooks – The Economy including translations and adaptations, ESPP, and Doing Economics, CORE Insights and Experiencing Economics). Along with an original photo, they should provide a title and an abstract of up to 150 words explaining how the photo relates to the relevant concept. Group submissions are welcome. This video explains the competition by going through a photo example that captures the concept of “negative external effects”. You can also view past year’s winners at UCL.

The top three submissions will be awarded with £100, £75 and £50 in Amazon vouchers and showcased on the CORE Econ website.

In addition to awarding students, we value the role of instructors in creatively incorporating this competition in their teaching of CORE Econ and invite them to share their experience with the CORE Econ Teaching Community, as contributors to our project.
