Introducing Wildcard Wednesdays - Economist Competition

Ruth Tarrant

31st January 2011

I haven’t yet decided whether to permanently name the Wednesday blog entry ‘Wildcard Wednesday’, ‘Wacky Wednesday’, ‘Worldwide Wednesday’ or ‘www.ednesday’. This week, however, I couldn’t resist opting for Wildcard Wednesday, having seen the latest caption competition for the Economist. If you’re keen to get published in the Economist, even if it’s just for a one-liner (Geoff should be good at this!), then this regular competition is just the ticket. This week’s competition details can be found here. You need to make sure that you make your entry by midnight on Wednesday, in order for it to be registered. The winning entry will be published alongside the image in this coming Friday’s print edition of the Economist. I think this is a really fun opportunity for both teachers and students; no prize money, just oodles of kudos!
